McDowell still in hunt for title

Graeme McDowell is well placed after Saturday's third round

Graeme McDowell goes into Sunday's final round of the European Open in second place on 13 under and three shots behind leader Ross Fisher.

The Portrush player held the lead during the third round but two dropped shots in the final three holes left him with a one-under-par 71.

Paul McGinley is next best of the Irish on eight under while Holywood's Rory McIlroy is six under after a 72.

Padraig Harrington is on five under with Gary Murphy back on level par.

McGinley carded a 71 at the London Golf Club while Harrington fired a 69 and Murphy posted a 73.

McDowell, who is chasing a place in the Ryder Cup, had three birdies and two bogeys before claiming an eagle three at the 15th.

But he bogeyed the 16th and dropped another shot after driving into the water at final hole.

South African David Frost is the closest challenger to Fisher and McDowell on 10 under.
