European PGA Tour: Suneson leads by one in France

Lumbres, France (Sports Network) - Carl Suneson, who is looking for his first European Tour win, posted a one-under 70 Saturday to take a one-stroke lead after three rounds of the Open de Saint Omer.
Suneson, who was one of three second-round leaders, completed 54 holes at six- under-par 207.
The third round was completed despite gusting wind and occasional heavy rain.
Marcus Higley, who shared the second-round lead with Suneson and Peter Fowler, managed an even-par 71 to finish alone in second place at minus-five.
Meanwhile, Fowler struggled to a three-over par back nine to shoot one-over 72. He was joined in third at four-under-par 209 by Mikael Lundberg (71). Stuart Davis and Francois Calmels are one stroke further back at minus-three.
Suneson and Higley either shared the lead or were alone atop the leaderboard throughout the third round. Suneson moved one ahead with a birdie on the first. He parred nine straight to remain at six-under.
Higley opened with five consecutive pars. The Englishman then dropped in back- to-back birdies from the sixth to move atop the leaderboard at minus-seven.
Fowler birdied the eighth and ninth on the Val Course at Aa Saint Omer Golf Club to remain in the mix at seven-under, but trouble loomed around the turn. Bogeys at 10, 14 and 16 dropped the Australian down the leaderboard.
Higley birdied No. 9 for a brief two-stroke lead over Suneson. However, Higley dropped a shot at the 10th and Suneson birdied the 11th to forge a tie at minus-seven.
