Australia&aposs lone hope at the Andalucian Open, Matthew Millar, has failed to up the ante on moving day. Millar, who began the day in a tie for the lead, recorded an even-par 72 in his third round as defending champion Lee Westwood moved back to the head of the pack. Westwood fired an impressive round of 66 at the Aloha layout in Spain to move to 12-under-par. It was enough to snare the outright lead and favouritism for consecutive titles in the process. Millar&aposs even-par round followed scores of 67 and 69. He is eight-under-par for the tournament and four shots off Westwood. Two behind and joint sixth at halfway, Westwood, the former European No.1 opened with five birdies and had chances to beat his own course record of 64. Joint second, one shot back from Westwood, are his former Ryder Cup team-mate Thomas Levet and English pair David Lynn and Oliver Fisher, the 19-year-old from Essex who three years ago was the youngest ever player in the Walker Cup. With his next tournament The Masters, Westwood was delighted with both his play and his late decision to compete in Spain this week rather than America next week. “Conditions in Houston are likely to be more like Augusta, but one time I played there it dragged on and on because of the weather – and I didn&apost want that,” Westwood explained. “I&aposm going to play a round under the pressure of trying to win tomorrow, and that&aposs what I wanted. The decision has gone 100 per cent.” Third Round of the Andalucia Open (Par 72): -12: Lee Westwood 65 73 66 -11: Oliver Fish 70 68 67, Thomas Levet 69 68 68, David Lynn 70 67 68 -10: Peter Hedblom 69 67 70 -9: Pelle Edberg 70 68 69, Michael Jonzon 69 69 69, Alexander Noren 69 70 68, Patrik Sjoland 70 69 68 -8: Matthew Millar (Australia) 67 69 72 -7: Markus Brier 71 72 66, Bradley Dredge 70 68 71 -6: Alastair Forsyth 70 70 70, David Frost 72 70 68, Miguel Angel Jiminez 74 67 69, Marcel Siem 70 69 71 -5: Emanuele Canonica 68n 72 71, Martin Erlandsson 71 71 69, David Griffiths 71 71 69, Joost Luiten 74 65 72, Damien McGrane 68 72 71 Also: +1: Gareth Paddison (New Zealand) 71 73 73
