Ham maintains control at the top

Ham built his advantage through steady putting and timely birdie conversions that helped him separate from the field at key moments. He moved three shots clear at the turn before extending his lead to four with a birdie on the 10th hole.

A key moment came on the par-four 13th, where Ham narrowly avoided the water off the tee before converting a birdie from 15 feet. He followed it with another birdie on the par-three 14th and then saved par on the next hole with an eight-foot putt under pressure.

Despite two bogeys, Ham still produced five birdies in his round and maintained firm control of the leaderboard heading into the final day.

Chasers stay alive in Open qualifying race

Cameron John kept pressure on the leader with a 67, remaining within reach as the final round approaches. His consistency has kept him firmly in contention despite limited experience in the region.

Tomohiro Ishizaka stayed in the mix after a steady 70, while Julien Sale remained close enough to challenge following his 69. Each continues to sit within striking distance of the top positions.

Gaganjeet Bhullar, Ahmed Baig, and Jazz Janewattananond also remain part of the chasing pack, all still capable of climbing the leaderboard with one strong round.

The tournament remains part of The Open Qualifying Series, with two places at The Open Championship at Royal Birkdale available to the highest finishers not already exempt, adding pressure to the final round.
