Perth, Scotland. -- Peter Hedblom shot 4-under-par 68 Saturday and is the leader through three rounds at the European Tour's Johnnie Walker Championship.

He overtook first- and second-round leader and 1999 British Open champion Paul Lawrie atop the leaderboard with an 8-under 208 total after starting the third round four strokes back.

Lawrie (73) is 7-under 209, alone in second place.

"Today's round felt really, really good," Hedblom told reporters. "I didn't really hit too many bad shots and felt like I holed some putts as well, which is not that easy on the greens (at the Gleneagles golf course in Perth, Scotland)."

"We got quite a few wrong today because (the wind) just kept dropping and changing so that was hard," Lawrie said
