Francesco Molinari continues to impress at the Scottish Open and holds a one-shot lead heading into the final round.
The Italian produced a five-under-par 67 at Castle Stuart on Saturday to take his total to 17 under par and lead by one over Dane Anders Hansen, who went round in 65.
Another Dane, Soren Kjeldsen, shares third place with local hope Marc Warren a further shot back, after both carded 65s on the day.
Four players share fourth place on 14 under, three adrift - Two more Scots in Martin Laird (64) and Peter Whiteford (66), Sweden's Alexander Noren (70) and American Phil Mickelson, who followed up Friday's 64 with another quality 65.
Second-placed Hansen was pleased with his round, but knows that the leader is playing very well at the moment.
"I played steady today and did not make many mistakes and just kept the ball in play and gave myself some opportunities, and so it was pretty steady," he said.
"It's a new day tomorrow. We'll see what is going to happen. Francesco is obviously playing very, very good golf at the moment. I had a great finish last week, so it's going to be fun to play with him.
"It's very, very difficult (to pick a winner). The scores are so low. It's very difficult to keep making putts and to keep making birdies."
Third-placed Kjeldsen has plenty to play for as he targets the one qualification spot available for next week's Open Championship.
"I would love to play," he said. "If I play well tomorrow and I get in, it's a bonus, but I have plans to have a little bit of a rest and be away from the game a little bit.
"If I get the chance to go to Lytham, I will obviously smile and go at it."
Mickelson was glad he made the decision to play n Scotland this week after a poor run of form heading into the Open Championship.
"I should have had it planned out originally, but there was a chance to take the kids to Italy," he said.
"I'm very pleased and excited. Given my three previous events it would have been asking a lot to get ready for Thursday (the start of The Open) if I hadn't played here.
"This course is so good at getting you ready for playing links golf. It does not beat you up so much.
"Hopefully I'll have a good round and that will give me some momentum heading into next week as well.
"I'm excited about the (last two) scores because I haven't been playing at that level, even though I knew it wasn't that far off," he added.
