Scotland's Ewen Ferguson will take a two-shot lead into the final round of the Soudal Open after defying wet conditions in Antwerp to post an impressive 69.

Ferguson began the day with a three shot advantage and, aside from being briefly caught by John Parry around the turn, was in control for most of the day at a rain-swept Rinkven International GC.

A 13 under total sees Ferguson go into the final round two clear of Parry, who carded a 67, with Dutchman Darius van Driel third on nine under after signing for a 69.

Ferguson birdied the third from 23 feet and extended his run of bogey-free holes this week to 41 before dropping a shot at the sixth after finding a bunker with his approach.

Birdies from 15 feet at the tenth and three feet at the next saw him pull clear of Parry, who had turned in 33 and briefly drew level with a gain at the 11th.

A duffed chip from behind the 13th led to a second bogey of the day for Ferguson, but he was able to restore his two-shot lead with a birdie from 16 feet at the 16th.
