Full leaderboard<\/a><\/p>\n

England’s Matthew Jordan is two shots off the lead heading into the final round of the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship.<\/p>\n

The 30-year-old made a six-under-par 66 to finish the day 16 under, which kept the pressure on leader Casey Jarvis of South Africa.<\/p>\n

Poland’s Adrian Meronk, who shot the joint-best round of the day with a nine-under 63, is also 16 under.<\/p>\n

Belgium’s Thomas Detry is a further shot back on 15 under after a seven-under 65 at St Andrews.<\/p>\n

Jordan, bidding to win a DP World Tour event, started the third round at Kingsbarns and carded a six-under 66 to move to 16 under.<\/p>\n

After finishing as runner-up at the Nexo Championship in Scotland in August, Jordan, who claimed the 2017 St Andrews Links Trophy as an amateur, is keen to go one better on the final day.<\/p>\n

“What I wanted to do, and felt like I hadn’t done over the last 12, 18 months was put myself in a position to win,” Jordan told the DP World Tour., external<\/a><\/p>\n

“Certainly. I kind of always felt that maybe I was a bit too far back and needed an amazing round to make it happen. I’ve done well in the last couple events.<\/p>\n

“I want to give myself a really good chance. And then just try and win a golf tournament.”<\/p>\n

Jarvis acknowledged he was “going to be feeling pressure” to hold off the chasing pack in the final round.<\/p>\n

“I still know I am going to feel first tee nerves and pressure throughout the day, but I am just going to try and manage it as much as I can,” he said.<\/p>\n

Jarvis began his round with an eagle at the first and went on to card a bogey-free 65 at St Andrews to move to 18 under.<\/p>\n

Meronk made birdies at his opening four holes at Kingsbarns and added an eagle later in his nine-under 63 to join Jordan on 16 under.<\/p>\n

England’s Matt Fitzpatrick made six under at St Andrews to sit at 12 under alongside defending champion Robert MacIntyre and fellow Scot Calum Hill.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Alfred Dunhill Links Championship – round three -18 C Jarvis (SA); -16 M Jordan (Eng); -15 T Detry…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":869812,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[71],"tags":[427,99],"class_list":["post-869811","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-golf","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/869811","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=869811"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/869811\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/869812"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=869811"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=869811"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=869811"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
