Ryan Gerard shot a third-round 63 to share the lead of the Mauritius Open with Casey Jarvis on 16-under-par.
PGA Tour player Gerard is making a rare DP World Tour appearance in search of the world ranking points that would take him into the top 50 at the end of the year and secure his place in April's Masters.
The pair are one shot clear of France's Alexander Levy with Jayden Schaper, winner of last week's Alfred Dunhill Championship, a shot further back after a 64.
England's John Parry, the defending champion, is five off the lead at 11-under.
On Friday, Dublin's Rowan Lester missed the cut despite a much-improved second round.
