It's great, Scott

Scott Jamieson is on target to make a Masters debut and silence any doubters after storming to a five-shot lead on the third day of the Volvo Champions event in Durban.

The 29-year old Glaswegian snatched an eagle and five birdies in a four-under-par 68 to move to 15 under in the elite 33-player field on the rain-soaked Durban Country Club course.

Jamieson was in South Africa's third-largest city only a month ago and breaking through to capture his first Tour title, the Nelson Mandela Championship. Now the quietly-spoken Scot, ranked 100th in the world, is in position to take the Durban Double.
