Robert Karlsson kept a bogey off his card for the second round running, but had his four-stroke halfway lead cut to two at the Omega European Masters.

A three under par 68 takes Karlsson into the final round on the 14 under par mark of 199.

But Emanuele Canonica is now 12 under after a 65 of his own.

And Barry Lane shot a best-of-the-week 64 to move into a share of third place on 11 under with Paul Lawrie and Trevor Immelman.

Nick Faldo is eight back after a 69 that fizzled out after the boost of a 20-foot eagle putt on the first.

Phillip Price triple-bogeyed the fourth as he managed only a 73 and fell 11 adrift.

Karlsson had his advantage trimmed to one before he pitched to 10 feet at the 388-yard 17th.
