FULL LEADERBOARD

The Austrian carded a three-under-par 68 to reach 14-under for the week in Farso, one ahead of Sweden's Alexander Bjork.

Bjork compiled a 66 on Saturday, with England's Laurie Canter third on 11-under after surging through the field with a seven-under 64.

The sole remaining Irish contender, Jonathan Caldwell, shot a brilliant four-under 67 for the second time at this tournament to move to eight-under in a tie for 14th.

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 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.

Birdies at the 10th, 12th and 14th were followed by a pitch to three feet on the 17th, although Wiesberger did three-putt the last to drop a shot.
