Andrew Oldcorn fired an 11-under 61 to grab a share of second at minus-11. He was joined there by David J. Russell (67) and Angel Franco (69). Oldcorn had 11 birdies through 15 holes, but parred the final three. Russell also had a bogey-free round, while Franco jumped into a share of second thanks to an eagle on the par-5 17th.

Peter Fowler closed with a 66 to end at 10-under-par 206. He was joined there by Paul Eales (67), Steen Tinning (68) and Philip Golding (69).
