Justin Rose carded 69 for the second day running to reclaim a share of the lead after round three of the Children's Miracle Network Classic.

The Englishman is now on 13 under in Florida alongside Justin Leonard and George McNeill of the United States, and Mathias Gronberg from Sweden.

Nick O'Hern from Australia and Sweden's Carl Petterson are both well placed one shot back on 12 under.

Rose's compatriot Greg Owen added a tidy 70 to finish four off the lead.

Rose, who is looking for his first win on the PGA Tour, bogeyed the fifth but a run of five birdies in nine holes saw him make his charge.

A further bogey on 17 scuppered his chances of taking an outright lead but the 29-year-old is still ideally placed to challenge for victory at Disney World.

Leonard also had a chance to move into the lead with a makeable birdie putt on the final hole but missed it left, while McNeill drove into the trees on the 18th and dropped two shots.
