Berry – who is just 13 and ceding three years to many of his opponents – is sixth and will be looking to make up nine shots on leader Martin Vorster, of South Africa, in the final round on the Eden course as he attempts to add the title to the French Under-14 crown he won earlier this season.

Vorster returned an excellent five-under-par 65 to move five shots clear of the field.

The 16-year-old from Pinnacle Point, in Mossel Bay, held a one-shot lead after an opening 66, but increased his advantage to five with four birdies on his outward nine and an eagle at his last hole, where he hit a nine-iron into the green and then holed out from 30-feet.
