Søren Kjeldsen birdied the opening hole on his final round of the Open de Andalucia de Golf 09 at Real Club de Golf de Sevilla to double his overnight advantage over David Drysdale.
Denmark’s Kjeldsen - looking for a third win on The European Tour - moved to 15 under after four holes, two clear of Scot Drysdale.
Drysdale has never won on Tour and his best finish remains second place at the 2006 Imperial Collection Russian Open, and it looked like the pressure of being in the final group would tell when he bogeyed the first to fall three behind.
But he responded with a birdie at the 436 yard fourth to close the gap.
The rest of the field were struggling to catch the leading duo in Seville, with Wales’ Rhys Davies three under through six for the day one of the biggest movers - climbing to a tie for fourth on nine under.
Alastair Forsyth remained in third place on ten under after four holes of his final round.
