Michael Hendry is one round away from making the Open Championship.
The Kiwi golfer leads the Mizuno Open in Japan, where the top four finishers earn a spot in the British major.
Hendry finished second in the event last year to qualify for his first major, and this time around could go one better.
He holds a one shot lead over the chasing pack through three rounds, after shooting a two-over par 74 in tough conditions.
Remarkably, it was the day's eighth-best round, and puts him at two-under overall.
