“I love this golf course, I love the facilities and everything about it. It’s genuinely a bit of a privilege to play it. I think it’s a really special place.”

Canter started the day four shots behind the trio of Oliver Bekker and Darren Fichardt of South Africa and Jeff Winther of Denmark, who held the overnight lead at 6-under. He produced four birdies, an eagle at the par-4 6th and a bogey at the par-4 17th to move to the top of the leaderboard.

“I was in between clubs (on the 6th),” said Canter. “Ended up going with a slightly shorter one, just hoped it jumped out of the rough.

“It came out well and, to be honest, it looked like it might be a bit long but one bounce, two bounce and it disappeared. Obviously delighted for that to go in for eagle, pretty unexpected.

“It’s such a long week but to play well and compete you need things to go your way and that was definitely a great break. Hopefully I will have good memories of playing that hole over the weekend.”

Bekker salvaged a 72 in spite of five bogeys to move down into a share of second place alongside Englishman James Morrison who carded a 71.

Daniel Gavins of England signed for a 70 and is tied in fourth at 5-under alongside Spain’s Ivan Cantero Gutierrez (68), Dane Thomas Bjørn (70), New Zealander Ryan Fox (68) and France’s Adrien Saddier (69).

Fichardt carded a 74 and moved down into a share of 9th place at 4-under while Winther scored a 75 and is tied in 16h place at 3-under.
