Nystrom defends lead in France

Swede Henrik Nystrom maintained his two-shot lead after the third round of the AA St Omer Open in northern France after carding a 68 to reach 11 under.

The 37-year-old, who has yet to win after eight years moving between the European and Challenge Tours, leads from South Africa’s Martin Maritz with England’s Shaun Webster a further stroke back on eight under.
