England's Morrison & Howell lead Spanish Open after 3 rounds (The Associated Press)

TERRASA, Spain (AP) -- English duo James Morrison and David Howell shared a two-shot lead of the Spanish Open after Saturday's third round.

Morrison carded a 4-under 68 while Howell went 3-under 69 to leave both on a total of 7-under 209 entering Sunday's final round at the Real Club de Golf El Prat.

Morrison recovered from a double bogey on the second hole by making seven birdies against one bogey.

Howell also double-bogeyed the eighth hole, but hit seven birdies along with two bogeys.

Francesco Molinari could have joined them at the top if not for a double bogey on the 17th, which left the Italian two strokes back.
