Home favourite Joost Luiten held a two-shot lead at the turn as the final round of the KLM Open was set up for a dramatic finish at The Dutch.
Luiten has been followed by huge galleries all week and he gave them something to cheer on Sunday afternoon by turning in 31 and then making a birdie on the tenth to get to 16 under and sit ahead of Scott Hend and Bernd Wiesberger.
The 2013 champion began the day three shots behind the Australian but surged ahead as Hend could only reach the turn in level par.
Luiten got off to a flying start, putting his approach to the first to six feet and then holing a left-to-right 20-footer on the second to quickly get within one of the lead as Hend started with two pars.
Wiesberger made birdies on the fourth and fifth to apply more pressure and Hend put his tee-shot on the fourth to the right of the green and then flew his second over the putting surface, but did well to get up and down and drop just a single shot to stay in the lead.
That did not last for long, though, as Wiesberger put his approach on the sixth to 18 feet and made his eagle to hit the summit.
Luiten also hit the green in two and made a birdie but Hend went one better, getting out of the rough to six feet for an eagle and a one-shot lead.
In the group ahead Luiten made a gain on the seventh, but Hend had found his rhythm and he birdied the same hole to edge back in front.
That lead was then extended to two as Luiten made just his second bogey of the week on the eighth after putting his tee-shot in the greenside bunker.
Luiten bounced back, following that bogey with a birdie on the ninth courtesy of an excellent 20-foot putt to turn in 31 and get to 15 under.
He followed that with another gain from similar range on the tenth and when Hend found the water on the ninth for a double-bogey, the lead was two shots.
Byeong-hun An, Richard Bland and Chris Hanson were then at 12 under, a shot clear of Alejandro Cañizares, Scott Jamieson, Simon Khan and Mike Lorenzo-Vera.
