Branden Grace builds lead ahead of final Alfred Dunhill Links Championship round

South African Branden Grace will take a four-shot lead into the final round of the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship by carding a three-under-par 69 at Carnoustie today.

Grace, 24, who has already won three times on the European Tour this season, made six birdies at the famous Scottish course but they were made alongside one bogey and a double bogey at the 15th.

His nearest challenger at the start of Sunday's round at St. Andrews will be Dane Thorbjorn Olesen, who could have been closer but for a double bogey on the 17th at Kingsbarns.

The Swedish duo of Fredrik Andersson Hed and Alexander Noren are a further shot back on 15-under.
