        Louis Oosthuizen went low, Charl Schwartzel was having fun, Mr Jarvis answered the call and Christiaan Bezuidenhout was seeking pins on day three of the Alfred Dunhill Championship.

        Here is everything you need to know from round three at Leopard Creek Country Club.

        Oosthuizen and Schwartzel on top

        Oosthuizen and Schwartzel will share a five-shot lead heading into the final round after dominating day three. Oosthuizen set the target at 15 under as he tied the course record with a 63 before Schwartzel came home in 31 to join him at the top after a 65. Fellow South African Christiaan Bezuidenhout and England's Andy Sullivan were the nearest challengers, one clear of another Englishman in Marco Penge and China's Wu Ashun. "It's the one event that I've really wanted on my CV," said Oosthuizen. "I've come close a few times and I've messed it up a lot of times so tomorrow if I can stay calm like I did today and do the same things and give myself opportunities on the greens I think I've got a good shot."

              Schwartzel seeking five-star win

              Schwartzel is a four-time winner of this event, with four runner-up finishes at Leopard Creek, while Oosthuizen has also finished second twice over this layout. The 2011 Masters champion has battled injury issues in recent seasons but is certainly enjoying himself on a happy hunting ground. "It's hard not to have fun making birdies and eagles," he said. "I'm just having so much fun being healthy. You don't realise how much injuries hamper you when you've got them because you just sort of work around them. All of a sudden, last week and this week there has been nothing and I can free flow and hit the ball like I used to."

                    Dad to the rescue

                    Casey Jarvis entered Saturday in the lead but was handed a blow when his caddie went down with heatstroke. The good thing about playing on home soil, however, is that family and friends are around and Jarvis' dad was on hand to take over.

                    Huge hit from Penge

                    At just 315 yards, there is no denying that the par-four sixth is driveable - but with a driving iron? What a hit Marco Penge.

                          Right at it

                          How do you recover from going out of bounds? You do this. Take a bow Bezuidenhout.

                          Almost another ace

                          We had a hole-in-one on day one and Wynand Dingle has previous having made one last season. We were this close to another.
