ATZENBRUGG, Austria (AP) — Thomas Norret shot a 2-under 70 Saturday to take a two-stroke lead into the final day of the Austrian Open.

The Dane, who is yet to win a European Tour event, is ranked 173rd and needs a strong finish to the season to retain his card. Norret ended the third round with an overall 9-under 207.

Kenneth Ferrie shot a 5-under 67 to share second place with fellow Englishmen Simon Wakefield and Robert Coles and Joost Luiten of the Netherlands at 7 under.

Gaganjeet Bhullar of India, who shared the lead overnight, had a 78 and dropped to 30th place.
