But whereas Kaymer was six clear with a round to go last year, this time the 24-year-old German trails Casey by four.

Ryder Cup star Casey's bid to end two full years without a victory anywhere - he has had no fewer than 15 top-10 finishes in between - saw him come within a stroke of the course record with a dazzling nine-under-par 63 in the third round.

So Kaymer, despite a 65, was further behind at the end of the day than he was at the start of it.

Casey is at 19 under - he won the event with 17 under in 2007 - with Kaymer 15 under and joint halfway leader Graeme Storm (69) one stroke further back.

Open and US PGA champion Padraig Harrington had a 68, but now finds himself eight behind, while world number two Sergio Garcia is 11 adrift after a 67 and Colin Montgomerie, now seen as the likely next Ryder Cup captain, 12 back.
