20th place after 3 rounds - Saturday, March 24, 2007

MADEIRA, Portugal -- Three bogeys in his final six holes cost Notah Begay III his third consecutive round under par at the Madeira Islands Open BPI. His 3-over-par 75 dropped the 4-time U.S. PGA Tour winner a few notches down the leader board and into a tie for 20th place.

Daniel Vancsik of Argentina leads the field with his 14-under par 54-hole total. Notah is at 3-under and will tee off in Sunday's final round at 9:25 am local time with Sweden's Johan Axgren and veteran Jamie Spence of England.

The top 27 finishers earn World Ranking points.
