Dean and Forrest tied for lead at Open de Espana

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 10 Oct, 20:00 · Archive

England's Joe Dean and Scotland's Grant Forrest share the lead going into the final round of the Open de Espana in Madrid on thirteen under par.

Forrest began the day with a one-shot advantage at the Real Club de Campo Villa de Madrid but bogeyed the fifth to slip down the leaderboard. He recovered with birdies at the 11th, 14th and 16th for a four-under round of 67. The Scot is searching for his third DP World Tour title and said: 'I'm happy with how I handled today. I didn't have my best stuff but I'm really proud of how I dug in and made some nice putts, a couple of good recovery shots, and all in all a decent score again.'

Dean, a former delivery driver from Sheffield, shot 65 after beginning with five birdies on the front nine. He added three more at the 12th, 14th and 15th to open up a three-shot lead. However, the 32-year-old then double-bogeyed the 16th and dropped another shot at 17 before finishing with a 31-foot putt for birdie on the last. 'It gave a little bit of hope after those previous two holes,' said Dean.
