SANTO DA SERRA, Madeira Islands — Pontus Widegren of Sweden will take a one-shot lead into the final round of the Madeira Islands Open, and hope of a first win on the European Tour.
Widegren offset two bogeys with two eagles before the turn, and finished the third round with a 5-under-par 67 to sit on a total of 16-under 200.
Widegren said he struggled on the greens, and was able to overcome a tough start by hitting "a nice eagle at No. 3" and building momentum.
Tied for second were Scott Henry of Scotland and Roope Kakko of Finland.
