English duo lead in Australia

English duo Ross McGowan and John Bickerton share a two shot over the rest of the field in the Johnnie Walker Classic in Perth.

McGowan and Bickerton both find themselves on 14 under after round three of the tournament in Australia, with McGowan looking good for a first European Tour win after he shot a seven-under-par round of 65.

39-year-old Bickerton then followed up with a fine round of 66 to leave the pair tied at the top with a two-stroke advantage over a quartet which includes France's Raphael Jacquelin and Chile's Felipe Aguilar.

26-year-old McGowan, who previous best finish on the Tour was fifth at the Alfred Dunhill Championship in 2007, said he was confident going into the final round.

"It's where you want to be. Another good round, and we'll see how it goes," said McGowan.

"I just hit the ball nicely and hit a lot of fairways. Around here if you can do that, the second shots, third shots, aren't too tough."
