Fraser reeled in

Paul Broadhurst and Ross Fisher both birdied the last three holes to be joint leaders entering the final round of the BMW PGA Championship, one stroke ahead of Aussie Marcus Fraser. Fraser (70) was joint halfway leader alongside Justin Rose, but, after setting the early pace on the third day, the Australian was over-taken by fast-finishing English duo Broadhurst (68) and Fisher (69) to set up an enthralling final day. Fraser and Richard Sterne, who shot the day&aposs best score of 66, are now just one shot behind the two leaders, while a disappointing 73 to Justin Rose saw the high profile Englishman slip back to fifth. Irish favourite Padraig Harrington (75) had a disappointing round and is further back in the field at three-under, while Australian Peter O&aposMalley (71) is a further one shot behind. After posting consecutive rounds of 69, Australian Matthew Millar slipped out of contention as he posted 79 on the third day to drop back to one-over on the leaderboard, while Brett Rumford&aposs 81 see&aposs the Aussie at 11-over.
