Eddie Pepperell carded three birdies and one bogey in the third round of the Mauritius Open for a 3-under total. Once again, It was enough to keep him at the top of the leaderboard, but not enough to keep him out of contention for the lead.

Speaking to the DP World Tour News Service after his third round performance, Pepperell said:

"The way I’m managing my game, the way the conditions are, if you offered me that ball-striking tomorrow I would take it, weighted towards better driving, because I think I can get round here in three, four, five under par managing myself and my game well and that could be enough in windy conditions."

New co-leader Dylan Naidoo made eight birdies and two bogeys for a 6-under total to climb six places at the top of the leaderboard at the Mauritius Open. This is Naidoo's 28th start on the DP World Tour, where he has never finished inside the top 10.

Naidoo has been playing on the Sundhine Tour since 2019, where he has participated in 116 tournaments. He has only won one event, the SunBet Challenge hosted by Sun Sibaya in 2022.
