Olivia Costello carded a third round of 74 to claim a three-way share of the lead heading into the final round of the Women’s Andalucia Cup at Club de Golf La Canada.
The Roscommon star sits at the top alongside Carlota Lopez Minguela and Nagore Martinez Salcedo on two-over-par.
Costello, in tough conditions, had put together a steady front nine of eight pars and a bogey on the par-4 6th and sound got back to par with a birdie two on the 11th.
The sixteen-year-old would have to wait until the 17th for her next par as she embarked on a bogey, birdie, bogey, birdie run before a potentially costly triple bogey seven on the 16th took her out of the outright lead.
She did steady the ship with two closing pars to give herself every chance of claiming a maiden senior title.
