Oct 3 (Reuters) - Denmark's Thorbjorn Olesen takes a three-stroke lead into the final round of the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship after firing a seven-under-par 65 at St Andrews on Saturday.
The 25-year-old took full advantage of ideal scoring conditions, picking up eight birdies, to lead Germany's Florian Fritsch, who went one better with a 64 at Kingsbarns.
Briton Jimmy Mullen, the overnight leader, dropped back after a 74 at Carnoustie.
"It was a great day. I started off badly by hitting it in the water on the first but I got over it and played some good golf out there," said Olesen, who was runner-up at the pro-am event three years ago.
