Italian golf sensation Matteo Manassero and world number two Luke Donald emerged joint top of the leaderboard after yesterday's third round of the European PGA Championship at Wentworth.
Both men shot a one-over-par 72 to head into the final round two strokes clear of chasing pair Lee Westwood and Paraguay's Fabrizio Zanotti, who each carded a 69.
Donald is bidding to oust fellow Englishman Lee Westwood as world number one but 18-year-old Manassero, seeking a third title in barely a year as a pro, muscled in to bag a share of the limelight
Five under for his overall 208, the Italian, the youngest ever player to make the cut in the Masters last year, would vault into the world top 20 were he to win at Wentworth.
With Westwood still strongly in contention Donald may have to wait a little longer to take over the top ranking.
