Thomas Detry is on course to secure a place at The Open after maintaining a share of the lead after the third round of the Scottish Open.
Detry followed a 66 and a 65 during the previous two days with a three-under-par 68, moving him to 14 under for the tournament with 18 holes go.
The Belgian has Matt Fitzpatrick for company at the top of the leaderboard but is within touching distance of sealing a place at Royal St George's next week.
Spots at The Open will be given to the top three players at the Renaissance Club in North Berwick who have not already earned exemptions.
Detry put himself in prime position to take one with a round that featured an eagle at the par-four fifth, which came after he sent his tee shot onto the green.
He also produced an outstanding up and down at the 17th to save par, a magnificent chip from well off the green helping him find the hole in three strokes despite a significantly wayward tee shot.
Jon Rahm is a shot adrift on the back of a third-round 69, while Lucas Herbert is firmly in contention having surged up the leaderboard with a 64.
The Australian carded six birdies and an eagle on the 16th to move to 12 under through 54 holes.
Wade Ormsby and Lee Min Woo are in the final two Open qualification spots having ended the third day in a three-way tie for fifth on 11 under.
