Rose, Bjerregaard Set Up Final Round Showdown in Hong Kong

HONG KONG — England's Justin Rose and Dane Lucas Bjerregaard matched each other shot-for-shot during the third round at the Hong Kong Open on Saturday as the duo surged four strokes clear of the chasing pack heading into the final round.

World number seven Rose, who led Bjerregaard by a stroke at the halfway stage, holed two eagles and two birdies in a blemish-free round of six-under-par 64 to move to 15-under.

Bjerregaard, who has three top-10 finishes in the last month, improved his chances of a first European Tour title by carding a 63 with a bogey on the last putting him on level with 2013 U.
