Following the Danish Golf Championship, where Jeff Winther won in his homeland for his second DP World Tour title, this week, the action comes from Scotland with the Nexo Championship.
The event is being held at Trump International Golf Links in Aberdeenshire for the second consecutive edition.
A year ago, local hero Grant Forrest beat Joe Dean by four shots for his second DP World Tour title.
However, in the defence of his title, Forrest was well off the pace with a round to play, on two over, 11 behind 54-hole leader Shaun Norris.
The South African holds a two-shot lead over Matthew Jordan, helped by an albatross during the third round.

When Forrest stormed to victory 12 months ago, he collected a check for $467,500 from an overall purse of $2.75m.
However, this year, there’s even more at stake, with $3m on the table and the winner set for a $510,000 payday.
Any player finishing in solo second is also guaranteed substantial prize money, with $330,000 heading his way.

The Nexo Championship is the sixth and final tournament of the Closing Swing, meaning there’s even more to play for.
Whoever finishes top of the Closing Swing will gain entry into every event in Phase Two of the season – the Back 9. Those nine events are made up of national opens and tournaments that have elevated prize funds and points. There’s also a bonus of $200,000.
Ahead of the Nexo Championship, Winther led the way with Stefano Mazzoli.
