SCIACCA, Sicily (AP) — Thorbjorn Olesen of Denmark made four birdies and an eagle for a 5-under 67 to lead the Sicilian Open by three strokes on Saturday heading to the final round.

Olesen, who was runner-up three times in his debut season on the European Tour last year, superbly managed the 16 mph gusts off the Mediterranean.

With the halfway lead shared by six overnight, only Olesen broke clear in the testing conditions.

For the eagle on the par-5 14th, he reached the green in two before sinking a difficult putt from 15 feet.
