Script:

After wild weather on Friday, conditions were kinder for the third round of the Lalla Meryem Cup in Morocco on Saturday.

And the woman to catch is Jade Schaeffer - the Frenchwoman holds a one-shot lead going into the final round after carding a two-under-par round of 69 as she looks to chalk up a third win on the European Tour.

But hot on her heel is 2nd round leader Marianne Skarpnord the Norweigan followed her 65 of Fruiday with a level par round of 71 and is just one shot back.

The hero of Saturday was undoubtedly Karen lunn - the veteran played 32 holes in all after ebing
forced to curtail her second round on Friday - it didn't appear to do her much harm as she is right in the mix - level with Skarpnord as she aims for a 10th career title.

Elsehwere Italian Stefania Croce a shot further back after a tournament-low round of eight under par 63.
