New Zealand golfer Steve Alker has the lead heading into tomorrow's final round of the Dutch Open.

Alker fired a third round one under par 69 to be in a three way tie for the lead at nine under.

Alker is joined at the front by British duo David Carter and Ross Fisher.

Alker says it was a windy day, which made for some challenging golf. He says the course was totally different from the first two rounds and the practice rounds.

He says that meant he had to try quite a few different golf shots, which was fun.

Compatriot Michael Campbell is four shots off the pace.
