EKURHULENI, South Africa, Nov. 26 (UPI) -- Hennie Otto took a 3-stroke lead at the South African Open Saturday with a 7-under 65.
Otto went to 14-under 202 after three rounds and is in position to win his second European Tour Sunday.
Nine South Africans were in the Top 14 on the leader board at Serengeti Golf Club.
"The SA Open is our national championship, you always want to do well in it," Otto said. "I'm in a better place than I used to be, and I'm going one way and that's not down."
Otto was in good form Saturday. After two early bogeys, he carded seven birdies and an eagle to grab the lead.
Retie Gooden was 1-under 71 for the day and held a share of second place at 11 under. Second-round leader Stephen O'Hara shot 74 and fell back into the pack in eighth place.
