Here is everything you need to know from Moving Day at Muthaiga Golf Club.

Kruyswijk storms to the summit...

Jacques Kruyswijk climbed to the top of the leaderboard ahead of the final round after firing a bogey-free 64 on Saturday afternoon. The South African went into the third round seven shots off the lead but as others struggled in breezy conditions, Kruyswijk carded seven birdies in a flawless display to take a one-shot lead into the last day. An eventful round, in which he was denied an eagle and a birdie by a matter of inches on the front nine, ended with back-to-back birdies to move him to 14 under par as he goes in search of a maiden win.

...After starting the celebrations prematurely

There was plenty to cheer for Kruyswijk on Saturday but he went a bit early on the ninth. His chip had looked destined to find the bottom of the cup from the second he hit it - so much so that he got the celebrations under way while it was on his way towards the flag. But he was forced to abandon the party as the ball lipped out.

And how did this not go in at the fourth?

Amazing amateurs beat the pros

It was a day to remember for two local amateurs who managed to beat the pros at the 13th hole. Well done, guys!

If you can't go around it...

Zihao Jin found the 14th green in two but had a problem as he stood over his lengthy birdie putt. The fringe grass was in his way. Knowing he couldn't really go around it, Jin opted to putt through the rough and got a great result, setting up a tap-in par putt.
