Here is everything you need to know from day three at Mont Choisy Le Golf.

Allez les Bleus

The French flag was flying high at the top of the leaderboard after the third round, with Antoine Rozner leading the way on 14 under par and Julien Brun two shots back in second. Rozner recovered brilliantly from back-to-back bogeys at the first and second on Saturday, carding seven birdies and a single bogey in his remaining 16 holes. Brun, meanwhile, made six birdies and a solitary bogey in his 67.

Jarvis goes agonisingly close to eagle

When Casey Jarvis sent his eagle putt on its way at the par-five seventh, it looked like the ball was heading straight into the hole. But it stayed above ground by the narrowest of margins, denying him a three. How close was this?!

Hats off to Garcia-Heredia

The wind was pretty strong at times on day three - so much so that it blew off Alfredo Garcia-Heredia's cap as he hit his tee-shot at the second!

Rozner's ball obeys him

Searching for his first birdie of the day following a pair of opening bogeys, Rozner was keen to make the most of his outside chance at the par-three fourth. After hitting the putt, he urged his ball to sit, then hit the flag - and it did exactly that on its way into the hole.

Välimäki ends birdie drought in style

Having opened his third round with seven straight pars, Sami Välimäki finally got his first birdie of the day at the par-three eighth. He sent his tee-shot to around 12 feet before sinking the putt to open his birdie account.
