Min Woo Lee fired five birdies and two bogeys on Saturday to close with another 3-under 68 and move into a share of the lead at 11-under at the FedEx Open de France.

“Just pretty solid again, I didn’t do anything spectacular in the back nine, just hung in there,” said the Australian.

“You can really get away with the moment – you’ve just got to keep hitting shots and keep mentally strong. You’ve just got to keep going until the end.”

American Brooks Koepka started the day in T9 five shots behind the lead and made eight birdies, five of them consecutively from the 13th, as well as two bogeys for a 65 and a share of the lead.

“Yeah, it was pretty good. Putted a lot better,” said Koepka. “I feel like my game has been trending in the right direction. It’s just the results haven’t been there. I’m pleased with the work I’ve put in over the last few months so hopefully got a chance to win tomorrow.

“I’ve felt very uncomfortable over the putts pretty much all year, just a little bit of hand position. We’ve got it sorted now where I feel like I’m striking the putts very well, hitting them on line and feeling confident and that’s honestly half the battle.”

England’s Marcus Armitage who had held the lead through the first two rounds made three birdies and three bogeys to close with a 71 and move down into T3 at 10-under.

“I was sort of at 50 per cent of what I can do and I’ve still got a shout going into tomorrow,” said Armitage “It’s a shame I couldn’t pull off a few birdies on the back nine but I just wasn’t driving it well enough.

“You’ve just got to keep grinding, even though you feel like you’re not playing well, just keep telling yourself you’re still in it.

“I’m a quality player, I’ve got to keep reminding myself of that. That’s the reason I’m stood here now and in contention and I’ve got to go out there with that attitude.”

Sharing third place alongside Armitage are Italy’s Guido Migliozzi who made one bogey and shot 66 and American Michael Kim who eagled the par-5 8th and made six birdies and two bogeys for a 66.
