She fired a three-under 69 and is still in contention for the �220,000 prize. Gustafson appeared to be dropping out of contention, but the big-hitting winner of last month's Irish Open finished with a brace of birdies in a round of 67.
Sweden's world number one Annika Sorenstam had her best round, a 67, but was still 10 off the lead on four under.
Britain's two-time winner Laura Davies took a double-bogey seven at the last for the second time in the tournament and carded a 76 for six-over 222.
