Here is everything you need to know from the third day at Crans-sur-Sierre Golf Club.

Lawrence storms into commanding lead

With four holes of his second round still to complete on day three as a result of Friday's weather delay, Thriston Lawrence was back out on course at 07.40 on Saturday morning. But the early start did not seem to bother him as he birdied the 18th to head into the third round one shot off the lead. He then fired a third-round 67, which contained five birdies and two bogeys, to move to 17 under par and open up a three-shot lead ahead of Sunday's final round.

Wallace's fantastic finish

England's Matt Wallace finished the day as Lawrence's nearest challenger after holing lengthy birdie putts at the 17th and 18th to climb to 14 under. The crowd around the 18th green loved this one...

Nicolai's front-nine charge

Nicolai Højgaard made a big move on Saturday thanks to a stunning first nine holes in which he got an eagle and five birdies. He heads into the final round on ten under par.

When George met George

Hollywood mega star George Clooney was at Crans-sur-Sierre Golf Club for the third round and he had time for a laugh and a joke with George Coetzee. As well as meeting Clooney, the South African had a pretty good day on the course, carding an eagle at the ninth courtesy of two excellent shots and a five-foot putt.
