Marcel Schneider and Marcel Siem impressed on Moving Day at the AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open and head into the final round in strong positions.

At the AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open on the DP World Tour, both Marcel Schneider and Marcel Siem delivered strong performances on Saturday to climb the leaderboard ahead of the final round. Schneider carded a 6-under 66 to move into a tie for 9th, while Siem shot a 68 to sit T14. South Africa’s Casey Jarvis and American Ryan Gerard share the lead at 16 under par, with Gerard firing a standout 63.

DP World Tour: Schneider nearly flawless, Siem surges late

Marcel Schneider played a nearly error-free round to break into the top 10. He opened his scoring with a birdie on the 4th hole, followed by back-to-back birdies on 5 and 6. After another birdie on 8, his only blemish came on the 9th, where he made bogey for the third day in a row. Unfazed, the 35-year-old added three more birdies on holes 12, 13, and 14 to finish with a 66 and climb to T9.

Marcel Siem had a slower start, with just one birdie on the front nine at hole 3. A bogey on 10 set him back, but he bounced back with a flurry of four consecutive birdies from holes 12 to 15. After a bogey on 16, he closed with a birdie on 18 to sign for a 68. At T14, Siem remains in contention for a strong finish.

Ryan Gerard fires 63 to grab share of the lead

Ryan Gerard delivered the round of the day with a 9-under 63. Despite an early bogey on hole 2, he rebounded with birdies on 3, 5, 6, and 8 to go 3-under at the turn. On the back nine, Gerard caught fire with five straight birdies from holes 12 to 16. He capped off his round with a final birdie on 18, bringing his total to 10 birdies and earning a share of the lead heading into Sunday.
