Ilonen takes Nordea lead

Mikko Ilonen has surged to the top of the leaderboard with a seven-under 65 for his third round at the Nordea Masters in Stockholm.

The Finn is now two shots clear of nearest challenger Alexander Noren (-16), who carded a 64 - the joint-best round of the day, along with Bernd Wiesberger.

Overnight leader Matteo Manassero (-14) could only manage to shoot one-under par as his challenge lost momentum, and he is now four off the tournament lead.

Sweden's Jonas Blixt is also on 14-under-par, followed by Richard Karlberg (-12), Wiesberger, Thomas Bjorn and Joost Luiten (-11).
