Horsey's lead slashed in Denmark

Copenhagen - England's David Horsey saw his overnight three-shot lead at the Made in Denmark tournament slashed to just one on Saturday after a topsy-turvy third round.

The 30-year-old, chasing a fourth European Tour title, had stretched his lead to seven at one stage before the chasing pack closed in.

Horsey has led since Thursday but he was reined in on Saturday courtesy of three bogeys on the back nine while Australia's Terry Pilkadaris carded a fine third round 65.

Horsey finished the day with a three-under 68 for the round and a tournament total of 15 under 198.

Pilkadaris is one shot off the pace while Englishmen John Parry and Chris Paisley are four back from Horsey.

"I played most of the European Tour events in Asia so to come over onto mainland Europe and play is a little different but I'm feeling good about the game and if the putts go in tomorrow we have a chance," said 41-year-old Pilkadaris, who turned professional in 1998 and has won tournaments on the Asian Tour.

"The course set up is a little different. There's more rough out here and more of a premium on driving the ball in the fairway."
