Scotland's Scott Jamieson ties the lead with South African Ockie Strydom, while Irish duo Gary Hurley and Tom McKibbin carded a pair of 71s in the third round of the Alfred Dunhill Championship at Leopard Creek. Jamieson went into the day with a three-shot lead, having produced a course-record 63 on Friday, but struggled on the front nine - carding two birdies and three bogeys.

Strydom, meanwhile, made a huge move on Saturday, carding an eagle, eight birdies and a single bogey to equal Jamieson's course record and earn a share of the lead.
