Italian Open: England's Benn Barham claimed a share of the lead going into the final round of the Italian Open.

Barham carded a third-round 67 at Castello di Tolcinasco for a 16-under-par total of 200, a score and total matched by Italy's Francesco Molinari.

Warrington's Phillip Archer is a shot behind in third after a 68 - with Belgium's Nicolas Colsaerts (64), France's Benoit Teilleria (65) and first-round leader Soren Kjeldsen of Denmark (69) another stroke adrift.

Overnight leader David Drysdale was considering throwing away the four-leaf clover he found during the third round after two double bogeys in his last five holes.

Drysdale, who had a two-shot lead at halfway, followed Archer into the water on the 14th and found water again on the 18th to card a 73.

That left the 31-year-old from Dunbar, who lost his card last season by less than £400, four shots off the lead on 12 under.
