Darren Clarke is nine shots off the pace going into the final round

The Dungannon star picked up four birdies to go with two bogeys and lies four under in South Africa.

A triple-bogey eight on the 18th left Dubliner Stephen Browne with a 77 and he is in joint 50th place on two over.

Ernie Els holds a two-shot lead over the field on 13 under after the South African fired a superb 64.
