(Reuters) - Scott Hend moved a shot clear of Sweden's Alex Noren after carding a five-under-par 65 in the third round of the European Masters at Crans-sur-Sierre Golf Club in Switzerland on Saturday.

The Australian, who won the True Thailand Classic in March and represented his country at the Rio Olympics, started the day a shot off the pace but picked up four birdies on the front nine and two more after the turn before a bogey at the last left him on 13 under.
