Mikael Lundberg: birdie in the morning earned him the halfway lead
Scotland's Steven O'Hara carded a seven-under-par third-round 65 to move into a share of the lead alongside England's Oliver Fisher at the Czech Open.
O'Hara birdied four of his first seven holes and picked up three birdies on the back nine, during a bogey-free round at the Prosper Golf Resort in Celadna.
That saw him rocket up the leaderboard from a tie for 13th at the halfway stage.

The young Englishman, like O'Hara also struggling to retain his card, was erratic early on before igniting a superb mid-round charge.
The 22-year-old birdied eight and nine and sank his wedge approach from rough at the 11th for an unlikely eagle, although he then three-putted the next green.
Fisher got the shot back at 16 and parred in to stay tied with O'Hara, while Gary Boyd birdied three of the last five holes to move into a share of third with Gaganjeet Bhullar and Swede Mikael Lundberg.
The Indian set the early mark at eight under with a best-of-the-day 64, including a blistering back-nine 30.
Lundberg moved into the outright lead after making a birdie at the last when he completed his second round in the morning.
But he could not build on that, having to settle for a level par 72 in the afternoon.
