Everything you need to know from Moving Day at The Belfry.

Nørgaard sits nicely at summit

Nørgaard stormed into a four-shot lead following a brilliant 64 on Saturday. The Dane, who held the co-lead at this stage in last year's tournament before finishing in seventh, rolled in nine birdies and a single dropped shot to climb to 16 under, four clear of in-form Thriston Lawrence. "I made a lot of putts and that's what I've been struggling a little with this year. The driver has been good and today, something just clicked with the putting," Nørgaard said. "It's funny how the snowball just rolls after one putt then another one feels easier and the next even easier. It was just that kind of day. I think I just really had the belief after seeing them go in and go in and go in, and just on the final one I had no doubt that I was going to make that one so that was very nice."

Lovely Lawrence approach keeps him in contention

Thriston Lawrence became Nørgaard's closest rival courtesy of four straight birdies to finish his third round, which included a magical approach to within a foot at the last, in his five-under 67. He sits four shots adrift at 12 under, and he admitted it is position is happy to be in. "Unbelievable finish. Still a couple of shots behind but yeah, in for a shout tomorrow," the South African said. "I still need to try and be aggressive and I'm quite an aggressive player, and my game plan doesn't really change whether I'm five ahead or five behind. I must say, I think I end up more comfortable being a little behind. Still a job to do, and yeah, I can't wait for the final round."

Oh and have a watch of THAT shot into the 18th hole.

Tenth hole proves tempting

During the tournament, title sponsor Betfred have pledged to donate £500 to event charity Guide Dogs, while 100 trees will also be planted for anyone who achieves the feat. And the leading challengers were not afraid to chance their arm at getting on in one.

Big-hitting Lawrence made it look easy with attempt...

While Lucas Bjerregaard nearly managed it with an IRON!

And don't forget Brandon Stone's attempt.

Tyrrell's tree trickery

Tyrrell Hatton, veteran of three Ryder Cup teams, showed his class with this stunning approach at the fourth after he had leaked his tee-shot into the trees.

Classy Campillo's clean bunker shot

Spanish golfers were just made to be so effective with their wedges thanks to their brilliant touch. Jorge Campillo followed this trend with this stunning shot from a plugged lie in the greenside bunker at the 12th.
