"I'm very happy with a 66," Elvira, who was joint leader after the first round, told reporters."It would be great to start here but I really don't think about it too much. "I like the way things are right now with my swing. I like the way I've turned round my season a little bit, let's see what tomorrow brings."
Thomas Pieters, who had a one-shot lead after the second round on Friday, surrendered his advantage with a poor showing on the back nine where he had three double bogeys to finish six-over par.Former world number one Ernie Els is four strokes behind Elvira. The South African is tied for sixth with Frenchman Benjamin Hebert, whose seven-under 65 was the lowest round of the day.
