Here is everything you need to know from Moving Day at Bernardus Golf.

Larrazábal keen to recharge the batteries ahead of title push

Pablo Larrazábal fired a flawless 67 to take over at the top of the leaderboard on Moving Day, and he stressed the importance of resting well ahead of the final round. The Spaniard, who played all four rounds at the US PGA Championship at Oak Hill last week, made five birdies to reach ten under par before keeping his card clean with a sensational par save at the 18th. Taking a one-shot lead into Sunday, Larrazábal said: "We're going to have to do a lot of good things now. Calm down and hit some balls and practise a little bit. And we're going to have to rest very well because my batteries are running down. But I'm happy, I'm playing great and I'm enjoying the moment."

Green's fine start

Gavin Green began the day five shots off the lead but closed the gap significantly courtesy of a lightning-quick start. He opened with four successive birdies to jump to nine under before making three more birdies, two bogeys and a double bogey over his next 14 holes to head into the final round on eight under, two shots behind leader Larrazábal.

Højgaard's magic touch

Rasmus Højgaard produced a strong contender for shot of the week at the seventh on Saturday, making good use of the bank as he chipped in from a tricky spot for a bonus birdie. Check this out...

The talented Dane is very much in contention with 18 holes to go after his third-round 67 took him to nine under par.

Kieffer breaks par run in style

Maximilian Kieffer began his third round with 11 straight pars, but what came next was worth the wait. The German holed his putt from 44 feet on the long 12th for a brilliant eagle to move to six under. He went on to sign for a 71 to sit five shots back.
