SOUTH African professional Casey Jarvis remains in contention for victory at the Genesis Championship ahead of the final round at Woo Jeong Hills Country Club in Cheonan, South Korea.

Jarvis, who is chasing his third DP World Tour title, sits second on the leaderboard, two shots behind Yuto Katsuragawa.

The South African carded a one-under-par 70 on moving day to move to 11-under-par 202, having opened with rounds of 65 and 67.

Jarvis began his third round with birdies at the second, fifth and sixth holes before dropping a shot at the seventh. He recovered with another birdie at the eighth to make the turn in 33.

However, he struggled on the back nine, dropping shots at the 12th and 13th holes to card an inward nine of 37.

Katsuragawa, meanwhile, produced a brilliant bogey-free eight-under-par 63 on moving day to take the lead at 13-under-par 200.

The other South Africans who made the cut are Robin Williams, who is tied for 27th on four-under-par 209, Richard Sterne, who is tied for 49th on one-under-par 212 and Yurav Premlal who is tied for 59th on one-over-par 214.
