Full leaderboard<\/a><\/p>\n England’s Matthew Jordan is two shots off the lead heading into the final round of the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship.<\/b><\/p>\n The 30-year-old made a six-under-par 66 to finish the day 16 under, which kept the pressure on leader Casey Jarvis of South Africa.<\/p>\n Poland’s Adrian Meronk, who shot the joint-best round of the day with a nine-under 63, is also 16 under.<\/p>\n Belgium’s Thomas Detry is a further shot back on 15 under after a seven-under 65 at St Andrews.<\/p>\n Jordan, bidding to win a DP World Tour event, started the third round at Kingsbarns and carded a six-under 66 to move to 16 under.<\/p>\n After finishing as runner-up at the Nexo Championship in Scotland in August, Jordan, who claimed the 2017 St Andrews Links Trophy as an amateur, is keen to go one better on the final day.<\/p>\n “What I wanted to do, and felt like I hadn’t done over the last 12, 18 months was put myself in a position to win,” Jordan told the DP World Tour., external<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n “Certainly. I kind of always felt that maybe I was a bit too far back and needed an amazing round to make it happen. I’ve done well in the last couple events.<\/p>\n “I want to give myself a really good chance. And then just try and win a golf tournament.”<\/p>\n Jarvis acknowledged he was “going to be feeling pressure” to hold off the chasing pack in the final round.<\/p>\n “I still know I am going to feel first tee nerves and pressure throughout the day, but I am just going to try and manage it as much as I can,” he said.<\/p>\n Jarvis began his round with an eagle at the first and went on to card a bogey-free 65 at St Andrews to move to 18 under.<\/p>\n Meronk made birdies at his opening four holes at Kingsbarns and added an eagle later in his nine-under 63 to join Jordan on 16 under.<\/p>\n England’s Matt Fitzpatrick made six under at St Andrews to sit at 12 under alongside defending champion Robert MacIntyre and fellow Scot Calum Hill.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
