Romain Langasque carded a brilliant 67 to earn a one-shot third-round lead after capitalising on fellow Frenchman Antoine Rozner’s mistake at the last in the 2026 Danish Golf Championship.
The Frenchman began the day two shots adrift of overnight leaders Rozner and Cameron Adam and despite starting his third round at Great Northern with a bogey, he bounced back with six birdies to climb up to 14 under par for the tournament.
Rozner shared the lead as he reached the par-three 18th, but he found the water with his tee-shot and closed with a double bogey to slip into third place.
Langasque’s closest rival was 18-year-old Chinese star Yanhan Zhou, who also registered a 65, to sit at 13 under on a congested leaderboard in Kerteminde.
Langasque is aiming to secure his second DP World Tour title of his career, almost six years since his ISPS HANDA Wales Open success at Celtic Manor.
Brandon Stone’s level par 72 left him trailing by 5 alongside Rasmus Hojgaard. The South African rattled off six birdies but with as many bogeys, he failed to keep the pace.
Zander Lombard is the next best South African at -7.
“I mean, it’s a super round,” the 31-year-old said. “Obviously the three-putt on the first was not the right start, but I tried to not be focused on what happened and to try to just be myself, playing every shot after shot.
“I think I did a super job today, especially on the tough holes on the back nine. I made some birdies where I didn’t expect them, so it was very good.
“I haven’t been in that situation for a long time now, so it’s good to be back in that position and let’s see what I can do tomorrow.
“I don’t expect anything of myself. I will go as a warrior and I will fight until the last shot.”
