PARIS, July 1 (UPI) -- New Zealand's Michael Campbell is the leader after 54 holes of the French Open Golf Tournament in Paris.
With an overall score of 10-under-par 203, he has a one-shot lead over John Bickerton of England, who was the leader after the first and second rounds.
Campbell shot 3-under 68 on Saturday while Bickerton, who is alone in second at 9-under 204, shot even-par 71.
Campbell took the lead despite hitting two shots out of bounds. He ended the day with a birdie at No. 18.
"I'm disappointed I didn't run away with it," Campbell admitted, "but I had eight birdies apart from the couple of loose shots and I'm playing some wonderful golf otherwise."
Bradley Dredge (71) of Wales and Denmark's Anders Hansen (68) are tied for third at 7-under 206, with five golfers tied for fifth place at 6-under 207.
