Siddikur Rahman leads Mauritius Open after Andrew Dodt's disastrous finish

Andrew Dodt's late collapse handed Siddikur Rahman the chance to claim a one-shot lead heading into the final round of the AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open.

The Bangladesh player carded a third-round 69 at the Four Seasons Golf Club Anahita and was the chief beneficiary of a spectacular implosion from Dodt, whose tournament fell apart in a four-hole stretch on the back nine.

Dodt appeared to be cruising when he birdied the sixth and seventh holes to add to his lead and move to 10 under.

He dropped a stroke at the 10th but regained his composure with pars at the next two before coming to the long 13th, where he had carded a double bogey in Friday's second round.

Dodt would repeat that seven on Saturday, and then drop a shot at the 14th as well to hand the lead to last week's Trophee Hassan II winner Jeunghun Wang.

Wang went on to give away shots at the 15th and 16th, and that meant Rahman taking over at the top of the leaderboard by two when he converted an eight-footer at the 16th to move to seven under.

Dodt's agonies continued with another double bogey at the 15th, and he would also drop a stroke at 16 to complete a back-nine 43 and finish the day on three under, four shots off the leader.

Wang made birdie at the closing hole but that was only enough to see him close the gap on Rahman, whose last win on the Asian Tour came back in 2013 at the Indian Open, to a solitary shot.

"Today was even windier than yesterday and it's really difficult to putt, especially on short putts. I didn't miss many though, and I'm playing okay, so I'm happy with one under," Wang said.

"I made some great par saves today and I'm really pleased with my chipping and putting. It wasn't great with my irons or my driver today, so my short game really saved the round.

Nicolas Colsaerts had a mixed day, finishing with a round of 73, but he remains in contention and goes into the final 18 alongside Dodt on three under.

Colsaerts, who is attached to the venue as a touring professional, had five birdies in tough, windy, conditions but mixed in four bogeys and a double bogey.

Dodt's Australian compatriot Scott Hend is the only other player under par heading into the final round, and his round of 69 was only one shot off the best of the day, carded by South Africa's Brandon Stone.

Stone is in sixth place on level par after making six birdies on Saturday to leap 40 places up the leaderboard.
