Min Woo Lee is determined to put on another show for the crowd at the 2022 acciona Open de España presented by Madrid - but he is hoping they do not get the happy ending they crave.
Lee shot 66 for a 15-under total and is a shot behind home favourite Jon Rahm heading into the final round. He will play with the Spaniard for the fourth time this week.
The Australian, a two-time DP World Tour winner, sunk a clutch birdie putt at the last to stay one back and set up Sunday's showdown.
Rahm will match the great Seve Ballesteros if he wins his national Open for the third time but Lee would love to spoil the party.
He said: "Halfway there the Spanish crowd was against me a little bit, but it's all part of it, we are all trying to inspire little kids and play the best golf we can.
"It's awesome, kids back there waving, and the crowds are being awesome, and we’ve just been playing back and forth and its good for both of us.
"Jon has obviously won plenty of times and it's just nice that the last three days have been pressure packed so I will just go out tomorrow, do the same thing, not change much and just keep playing the way I am.
"This year has been a bit rough so it's actually really nice to see the ball go where it should be. I am happy to be in this position and hopefully we give the crowd a show tomorrow."
