South African Louis Oosthuizen leads by four strokes going into the final round of this year’s Open Championship at St Andrews.
Oosthuizen, nicknamed Shrek by his Tour rivals, wore green for Day Three, which he started five ahead after escaping the worst of the conditions during a wind-wrecked second day.
And the status quo remains very much intact after the 27-year-old posted a nerveless 69 to move to 15-under par.
His closest pursuer is Englishman Paul Casey, who followed up back-to-back 69s with a five-under par 67 for an 11-under par total of 205.
German Martin Kaymer is next best on -8, seven strokes off the pace, with Henrik Stenson, Lee Westwood and Alejandro Canizares sharing fourth place on -7.
