PARIS — Jaco Van Zyl will take a two-stroke lead into the final round of the French Open and a shot at a maiden European Tour title after carding a 7-under-par 64 on Saturday.
Van Zyl has won 13 times on the Sunshine Tour, and has 17 top-10 finishes on the European Tour, including two this season while playing on a medical exemption with a brace on his leg.
His bogey-free round included a tap-in seventh and final birdie on his last hole.
"Today was really a phenomenal round," he said after reaching a 10-under total of 203.
