Jones, who leads by one stroke at 10-under the card, will be joined by Englishman Paul Casey and fellow New South Welshman Dimi Papadatos in the third round of the ISPS HANDA PGA Tour of Australasia tournament.

The front-running trio will need to bring their A-game to the course on moving day, however, as a stacked field full of talent lurks closely behind.

Tied for fourth place alongside Cameron Tringale, Denzel Ieremia, Takumi Kanaya and Shae Wools-Cobb, South Africa’s Louis Oosthuizen is poised to pounce at 8-under the card.

His ability to go low is renowned but the familiar faces of Marc Leishman and Brett Rumford, both with a wealth of experience, also remain four shots behind and well within striking distance.

Windy conditions are expected to challenge the field at Sydney’s The Australian Golf Club on Saturday.
