Spain’s Ignacio Garrido birdied four holes on the front nine of his third round to move into contention in Open de Andalucia de Golf 09 at Real Club de Golf de Sevilla.
Garrido - who posted a second round 71 on his 37th birthday on Friday - moved to six under for the week over his first nine holes and climbed into a share of seventh in an uncharacteristically rainy Seville.
He was still three shots adrift of halfway leader Marcel Siem, with the German yet to tee off his third round.
Siem had admitted a more relaxed approach over the first two days were paying dividends.
As a golfer losing your cool is not recommended and the 28 year old German has been fighting all his career to keep a lid on things.
So far this week he has been doing a good job of it but Siem remembers an incident in Cologne two years ago when his anger led to him breaking his driver on missing the cut.
He did it in front of children, however, and realising the bad example he set he admits he nearly cried before going over to them and saying: "Don't do this ever."
A winner of the World Cup with the usually unflappable Bernhard Langer in 2006, Siem also confesses to throwing a few clubs in his time, but he remarked to his caddie at one point during the first round: "I feel like Retief Goosen - I don't have any emotions.
"I think I will never change completely, but I am pretty calm at the moment," he added.
And that despite three putting the final hole of his second round for bogey, which left him only one shot ahead of England’s Graeme Storm and France’s Jean-François Lucquin.
Defending champion Thomas Levet was also going well out on the course, reaching three under for the day and six under for the week after eight holes.
