Matthew Southgate says that "keeping a check" will be the big task if he takes a lead in the final round of the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship.

The 30-year-old is a joint summit with Victor Perez in St. Andrews after picking up eight birdies to get 20 in the course of the day.

Colleague Englishman Paul Warring is 18 under, a shot free from the American Tony Finau and Swede Joakim Lagergren.

"It's pretty special stuff that is green and sticks to the plan," he said.

"I am so passionate about winning tournaments and being home to golf tomorrow is going to be hard to restrain myself and to keep producing what I did the first three days.

"Tomorrow's biggest task is to control myself instead of the golf swing."

Southgate made birdies on the 10th, 13th, 17th, 18th, first, fifth and sixth and rode the par four ninth for another win, with his only stain on the 14th.

Dundee-based Frenchman Perez made nine birdies and a bogey in a 64 in Kingsbarns, while Waring played a 65 in Carnoustie.

English couple Luke Donald and Jordan Smith were at 16, with fellow countrymen Tyrrell Hatton and Matthew Jordan, and Scot Calum Hill back again.
