Norway's Henrik Bjornstad will take a one-shot lead into the final day of the Omega Hong Kong Open after a brilliant third round at Fanling.

Bjornstad fired eight birdies and an eagle in a 10-under-par 61, just one outside the lowest ever round on the European Tour, to jump from a share of 22nd place at halfway into the lead.

It gave the 22-year-old from Oslo a 17-under-par total of 196 and a one-stroke lead over Australian Adam Scott with Spain's Jose Maria Olazabal and England's Mark Foster another shot adrift.
