And while the 33-year-old does not care enough about this month's US Open to enter the qualifying tournament in Surrey on Monday this is a title he craves.

``I really want to win this,'' said Dredge after a six-birdie, four under par 65 took him to 10 under and alongside little-known German Martin Kaymer.

Victory or even second place would put Dredge back into the world's top 50 and while that would be a week too late for the US Open it would earn him a place in next month's Open at Carnoustie, the course where he lost to Scot Stephen Dundas in the final of the 1992 British amateur championship.

Finding himself in a share for top spot came out of the blue for Dredge really.

With two to play European Tour rookie Kaymer was 12 under, but he bogeyed them both whereas Dredge had scrambled a par on the 426-yard last after driving into a bunker.

Kaymer, 22, came through last season's Challenge Tour, winning two of only eight events he played. And he has already had a third-place finish in the Portuguese Open on the main circuit.
