MALELANE, South Africa, Nov 28 (Reuters) - European Tour rookie Sebastien Gros made nine birdies in a sparkling 63 to surge into contention after the third round of the Alfred Dunhill Championship at the Leopard Creek Country Club on Saturday.
The Frenchman was one under after opening rounds of 71 and 72 but struck form with a bogey-free day to finish in joint second on the leaderboard at 10 under par, three shots behind home favourite Charl Schwartzel.
Gros was level with compatriot Benjamin Hebert, who had a mixed day as he carded a 68.
