Shane Lowry carded a four under 67 in the third round of the HNA Open de France to keep in touch with the chasing pack heading into the final day.
The Offaly man hit five birdies in all along with just one bogey to leave him on one-under for the tournament, and nine shots off Sweden's Marcus Kinhult who continues to lead, with Chris Wood of England just one shot back in second place.
There was just one bogey in Lowry's impressive third-round display, while Paul Dunne is also one-under for the tournament so far after adding a 71 to his 67 and 74 in the previous rounds.
He had a mixed day in the third round which featured three birdies and three bogeys across the front and back nine.
Meanwhile, Graeme McDowell is further down the leaderboard after carding a one-under 70, which included six birdies, three bogeys and a double-bogey on the 15th hole.
