England's Matt Wallace and Frenchman Victor Perez are tied for the lead of the Dutch Open ahead of the final round at Bernardus Golf.

The pair both sit on 10 under par after Wallace signed for a 70 and Perez a 69 in testing windy conditions.

Wallace saw two early birdies cancelled out by bogeys on the fifth and seventh holes but he picked up another shot at the 12th and then birdied the last to join Perez at the head of the field.

Perez birdied three of his first four holes and then repaired the damage from two bogeys with more birdies at the 10th, 12th and 13th before dropping another shot at the 14th.


LEADERBOARD


Wallace and Perez sit one shot clear of a quartet of players - New Zealander Ryan Fox, Australian Scott Hend, Italy's Guido Migliozzi and Swede Sebastian Soderberg.

Overnight leader Ricardo Gouveia began brilliantly with an eagle at the par-five fourth but things went downhill from there as he slipped to a share of seventh, two shots back, after a 74.

There are no Irish players involved in the two weekend rounds after Jonathan Caldwell and Cormac Sharvin missed the cut on Friday.
