South Africa’s James Kingston enters the final day on Sunday with a narrow lead as he looks to win the prestigious Barbados Legends Golf Tournament at the Apes Hill course on the western end of the island. Kingston birdied his final hole to claim the outright lead at eight-under heading into the final round of the event.

That decisive blow – good enough for a two-under-par round of 69 – kept him ahead of a chasing pack containing proven Bradley Dredge (68), Simon Khan (68) and Greg Owen (67) who are all on -7. Robert Coles and David Drysdale are a further shot back on six-under ahead of what is sure to be a thrilling last day.
 
After the fireworks of Friday’s scintillating 66, Kingston struggled to find the fluency that got him to the top of the leaderboard. Back-to-back bogeys midway through the back nine dropped him out of the lead but he rallied to find two birdies to repair the damage and get back to -8.
 
“I’m really proud of myself to come back over the last few holes, make two birdies and get myself back in position … patience and discipline are things I’m still learning but I think I'm getting better, even at this age. I didn't birdie two, which already got me a little agro there. And then making bogey on three and four. But I stuck to my guns and it took a few decent shots coming in. And there I am, in with a good chance” Kingston said.
 
“I'd rather be one ahead than one behind. It means that somebody has to catch up a shot. It's all going to be how we play the last round what sort of start I get off to. I’m looking forward to it and so pleased to be in that position.”
 
The Barbados Legends tournament is part of the European Seniors Golf Tour.  Several high-profile players are participating in the second edition of the Barbados Legends event which is hosted by Ian Woosnam, the former Ryder Cup winner and legend.
