Marcel Schneider and Marcel Siem delivered strong rounds on Saturday at the AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open, entering the final day in contention.

On Moving Day at the AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open on the DP World Tour, both Marcel Schneider and Marcel Siem played excellent rounds to position themselves well for Sunday’s final round. Schneider carded a six-under 66 to climb to T9, while Siem shot a 68 to reach T14. At the top of the leaderboard, South Africa’s Casey Jarvis and American Ryan Gerard share the lead at 16-under-par, with Gerard firing a sensational 63.

DP World Tour: Near-Flawless Round for Schneider, Siem Rallies Late

Marcel Schneider played a nearly flawless round to break into the top 10. He opened his birdie account on hole 4 and followed up with two more on holes 5 and 6. After another birdie on 8, his only blemish came on hole 9—his third bogey on that hole in as many days. Unfazed, the 35-year-old added three more birdies on holes 12, 13, and 14 to finish with a 66 and move to T9.

Marcel Siem had a slower start, with a lone birdie on hole 3. A bogey on 10 set him back, but he responded with four consecutive birdies from holes 12 to 15. Despite another bogey on 16, he closed with a birdie on 18 to sign for a 68. At T14, Siem remains in the hunt for a top finish.

Ryan Gerard Surges with Birdie Blitz

Ryan Gerard produced the round of the day with a nine-under 63. After an early bogey on hole 2, he bounced back with birdies on holes 3, 5, 6, and 8 to go three-under at the turn. His back nine was electric, with five straight birdies from holes 12 to 16, and a final birdie on 18 to cap off a ten-birdie performance. Gerard now shares the lead heading into the final round.
