Alex Noren was delighted to walk off the 18th green feeling amazing after he ended the third day of the British Masters armed with a commanding three-shot lead at The Grove. Noren admitted he was not on top of his game and had to battle hard for pars after missing a number of fairways, but he managed to keep a bogey off his card as a six-birdie 65 lifted him to 15 under par. Alex Noren admitted he struggled off the tee despite shooting a bogey-free 65 The Swede capped a brilliant day in style when he sank a huge 50-foot putt for birdie at the last when he feared he was in three-putt territory, and closing with three birdies in four holes gave him plenty of momentum to take into the final round. I struggled off the tee, said Noren, who is bidding to become the first three-time winner on the European Tour this season. I was always in the crowd, but I thought to myself if I get it around, keep the putter good then theres a chance for Sunday. Watch NOW TV Watch Sky Sports for just ￡6.99. No contract. Obviously on 18, it was an amazing feeling because I thought it was a tough putt, and you can easily three-putt that and come off with a sour taste in your mouth. Now it feels great. Ive three-putted those a lot of times, so sometimes youve got to get lucky. Noren is in prime position to pick up his third win of the season But I know from experience that its not that easy to hold leads. Anybody can come from behind and shoot eight under. You never know. Im just trying to work with my coach and my caddie and if I manage to pull it off, I do.Overnight leader Richard Bland, still searching for his maiden European Tour title in his 395th start, opened up with two straight birdies but struggled for the remainder of his round, although he managed to salvage a 69 with birdies at 15 and 18 that kept him within striking distance of Noren. Overnight leader Richard Bland struggled but still managed a 69 to sit three shots behind Noren I flushed it on the range this morning and started great and then I just kind of lost my way a little bit for nine or 10 holes, said the English journeyman. I played good the last five holes to keep myself in touch with Alex and its all to play for.Sometimes youve got to get it done a little ugly and I did that today. I said to my caddie, if thats our worst day and we shoot 69, we should be in with a good shout depending on what Alex does. Hes a class player. Hes only going to go forwards, and weve got to go try and catch him. Tommy Fleetwood cut out the moaning and shot a 67 to lie four off the lead Meanwhile, Tommy Fleetwood will go into the final round four off the pace after a 68, during which he admitted he had not been as hard on himself as he was on the second day.I didnt moan as much, said Fleetwood, who has soared up the Race to Dubai standings having finished no lower than 15th in his last four starts. I didnt have as much to moan about early on, I had to just set off with being normal. I felt quite good and my game felt all right. My irons werent quite on, and then I missed a couple tee shots toward the end, but one bogey on a Saturday is always good, especially with the pins tucked away. Id like to be a couple closer, but its golf, isnt it. Anything can happen.You can watch Liverpool v Man Utd, plus Englands tour of Bangladesh and the British Masters on Sky Sports.

CHAUNCEY BILLUPS (Pistons): Yes they got Josh Smith and Brandon Jennings in the off-season and Andre Drummond is a beast (teams are kicking themselves for passing on him - he rebounds and block shots every game - thats two more discernable and significant skills than most guys in his draft class), but dont for a second discount the impact of having a savvy veteran like Billups on your team.
