American Tom Penrice Jr leads the Buick Open by one shot despite Swede Jesper Parnevik's stunning third round 64 in Michigan.

Penrice Jr, who is available to back at 6.6 on Betfair's outright winner market, fired a 66 to go into Sunday's final round on course for victory, but he will be well aware of a clutch of players breathing down his neck, including Parnevik (16).

The former Ryder Cup star's stunning eight under 64 was the highlight of the third round proceedings and he joins Scott Verplank (6.4) and Brian Bateman (22) in joint second place at 12 under after 54 holes.

The 42-year-old three birdies in his first five holes and picked up shots at seven and eight to go out in 31. He then hit another four birdies, before dropping one shot at the 17th in an otherwise inspired display.

Swede Frederik Jacobson (19) and Americans Jim Furyk (the 4.5 favourite) and Kenny Perry (12.5) are in a group of five players just two adrift of the lead.

England's Brian Davis is the best-placed Briton at seven under following a third-round two-under-par 70, two ahead of Darren Clarke (both are available at 1000) who also hit a 70.
