KEY POINTS:
Sweden's Daniel Chopra will take a one-shot lead into the final round of the Australian Masters at Huntingdale Golf Club today.
Chopra shot a seven-under par 65 in yesterday's third round to move to 12 under overall, one stroke ahead of NSW's Kurt Barnes, who also had a third round 65, and pre-tournament favourite Aaron Baddeley, who shot a 69.
Chopra and Barnes will be the last pairing to tee off today with Baddeley in the second-last grouping with Rod Pampling, who is three behind Chopra.
While Chopra is officially listed as Swedish, his father is Indian and his wife is from Australia. He has also spent much of his life in Victoria.
"It was just one of those days ... every time I had the opportunity of making a birdie, I made it," Chopra said of his third round.
Baddeley will be chasing his first Australian tournament win in six years today.
Despite some early tribulations and some sloppy work at the finish, the world No.18 was pleased with his three-under par 69 on day three.
"I had a good day without being great," Baddeley said.
"A little bit scrappy at the start, a little bit scrappy at the end, but really really nice in the middle."
