Bernd Wiesberger will take a one shot lead into the final round of the Made in HimmerLand presented by FREJA as the defending champion seeks a wire to wire victory in Denmark.
The Austrian carded a three under par 68 to reach 14 under for the week in Farsø, one ahead of Sweden's Alexander Björk.
Björk compiled a 66 on moving day, with England's Laurie Canter third on 11 under after surging through the field with a seven under 64.
“I feel good,” said Wiesberger. “It wasn’t as easy today scoring wise, obviously conditions were a lot easier but I had to scramble a little bit.
“Got a couple of good breaks, gutsy up-and-downs as well, you know I am not happy about the last hole obviously, but I’m still in a good position for tomorrow and I know exactly what it is going to feel like on that tee going in with a one shot lead, so that is going to be nice.”
Wiesberger, who won this event in 2019 before last year's event was called off amid the coronavirus pandemic, went to the turn in 36 with birdies at the second - following a superb approach from a bunker - and eighth cancelled out by bogeys on the sixth and ninth.
However, the 35-year-old – a seven-time European Tour winner – found his touch on the back nine with four gains in eight holes.
A birdie at the tenth, a chip in from rough at the 12th and another gain on the 14th were followed by a pitch to three feet on the 17th, although Wiesberger did three-putt the last to drop a shot.
Björk's round contained seven birdies and two bogeys and the 30-year-old believes patience will be key to his chances of winning a second European Tour title.
“I think I played really well the entire round,” he said. “I gave myself a lot of chances to hole birdie putts and I made quite a few of those, so overall a solid round.
“My iron play has been quite solid all week. I feel like I have been hitting a lot of good iron shots back to where I was a couple of years ago, so it’s nice to have a good feeling again.
“I think just the same as these first three days. Try to stay patient, play the game I have been playing, hit a lot of fairways and be accurate with my irons.”
England's Richard Bland, who at 48 became the European Tour's oldest first-time winner at the Belfry two weeks ago, is four shots off the pace in a tie for fourth following a 66.
Bland was joined on ten under by Japan's Masahiro Kawamura, who got to 12 under when he holed out from a bunker for eagle on the 17th only to then find water at the last, Austria's Matthias Schwab, American Kurt Kitayama, New Zealand's Josh Geary and Australian Jason Scrivener.
