I know I play my best when I get into that mindset,\u201d said Ramsay.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere were plenty of chances out there, but as always my plan was just to play the golf course, not the other people out there,\u201d added Ramsay.<\/p>\n<p>Lawrie would be looking to follow the footsteps of defending champion Thomas Bjorn by achieving a double.<\/p>\n<p>Twelve months ago, the Dane also won in Scotland before going on to secure the Omega European Masters title.<\/p>\n<p>Having triumphed in Scotland last week himself, Lawrie is hopeful of achieving a similar feat.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYour aim every week is to put yourself into a decent position with 18 holes to play, and I\u2019ve managed to do that,\u201d said Lawrie.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt the start of the week I would\u2019ve taken one shot behind going into the final round, and if I can go on to emulate the great Dane by getting another win under my belt, then I must be a half decent player,\u201d added Lawrie. <\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile Karlberg set himself well for a final-day charge after he made one of the round\u2019s biggest moves.<\/p>\n<p>The Swede had a spectacular run in his opening front-nine where he mixed five birdies against one bogey to turn in 31.<\/p>\n<p>After his lone bogey, the 25-year-old seemed to be able to do no wrong when he continued his birdie blitz on holes 11 and 14 until a costly double bogey on the 15th put the brakes on his charge.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI didn\u2019t really like the tee shot of the 15th. It got to my mind and I had a bad swing which went out of bounds. I could have been up there but there\u2019s another day tomorrow and we\u2019ll see what happens then. I\u2019m still in it.<\/p>\n<p>Karlberg\u2019s last two wins on the Asian Tour came in 2010 in India and he is hoping that his third will come from Europe.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve got to shoot a really low one to get it through tomorrow but I believe I can still do it,\u201d said Karlberg.<\/p>\n<p>The Omega European Masters is the first event in Europe to be co-sanctioned by the Asian Tour and European Tour since 2009.<\/p>\n<p>Leading scores after round 3 of the Omega European Masters being played at the par 71 (par 70 for R3), 6889 Yards Crans-sur-Sierre1 course (a- denotes amateur):<br \/>201 &#8211; Richie Ramsay (SCO) 69-68-64.<br \/>202 &#8211; Paul Lawrie (SCO) 69-66-67, Danny Willett (ENG) 67-67-68.<br \/>203 &#8211; Julien Quesne (FRA) 68-65-70.<br \/>204 &#8211; Mathias Gronberg (SWE) 70-69-65, Jamie Donaldson (WAL) 69-69-66, Jaco Van Zyl (RSA) 69-68-67.<br \/>205 &#8211; Rikard Karlberg (SWE) 72-67-66, Graeme Storm (ENG) 68-70-67, Anders Hansen (DEN) 68-70-67, Fredrik Andersson Hed (SWE) 65-73-67, Felipe Aguilar (CHI) 68-69-68, Romain Wattel (FRA) 67-70-68, Joost Luiten (NED) 71-71-63, Marcus Fraser (AUS) 68-68-69, David Howell (ENG) 66-70-69.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Selected scores<\/strong><br \/>208 &#8211; David Lipsky (USA) 70-70-68<br \/>209 &#8211; Scott Barr (AUS) 66-72-71, S.S.P.
