Scotland’s David Law and Grant Forrest are in contention heading into Sunday’s final round at the ISPS Handa Championship in Japan.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Canada’s Aaron Cockerill leads on 13 under par with Law and Australian Lucas Herbert one shot behind.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Forrest is tied for fourth, on 11 under, with home favourites Takumi Kanaya and Rikuya Hoshino.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Scottish pair are both aiming for their second titles on the DP World Tour.<\/span><\/p>\n

Law matched Cockerill’s third-round six-under 64 on Saturday, hitting seven birdies and a bogey each at PGM Ishioka Golf Club in Omitama.<\/span><\/p>\n

After struggling with hip and back injuries earlier in the year, Law says his body “feels better”.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I played in Thailand and India and I probably shouldn’t have. I wasn’t really fit and ready to go by then, and then I went to South Africa and it still wasn’t quite there,” the 31-year-old said.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I started to do Pilates just after India; that seems to have worked. It takes a bit of pressure off the hip. My back is feeling a bit better, I’m feeling fit.”<\/span><\/p>\n

After an impressive eight-under 62 on Friday, Forrest dropped from the top of the leaderboard after carding a one-under 69 with bogeys on the second and 13th holes.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
