Overnight leader Retief Goosen still leads by a single stroke after five holes of the final round of the Lancome Trophy in Paris.
Defending champion Goosen saved par from 10 feet on the first after coming up short both with his approach and his chip, then birdied the 399-yard second.
But that was matched by Niclas Fasth and when the Swede grabbed a second birdie on the 459-yard fourth they were locked together at 14 under par.
Open runner-up Fasth three-putted the fifth, however, and with Sergio Garcia making a birdie there it was as you were at the start of the day Goosen one ahead of the two European Ryder Cup players.
