Nilsson on course for maiden victory

Christian Nilsson stayed on course for his first European Tour win after nine holes of the final round at the Saint-Omer Open today.

The Swede started the day two clear of Robert Coles, but that advantage quickly evaporated when the Englishman posted birdies on the second, fourth and sixth holes. Only a bogey on the par-four third prevented Coles from taking an outright lead.
