He added, “It reflects the way he's playing. He played great here and gives himself a chance on every hole and he's a great putter, as well. If I was a betting man, I would put the house on him. He's just played so well and looks very comfortable”.
Fraser, who turned professional in the year 2002 has five professional wins to his credit and has won twice on the European Tour.
His first European Tour victory came in the year 2003 when he landed the BMW Russian Open taking over Austrian Martin Wiegele at the playoff.
He won his second European Tour title, the Ballantine’s Championship in 2010 where he defeated Gareth Maybin and Brett Rumford by a mammoth lead of four strokes.
Fraser, however lamented the fact that his putter has not given good results in the four-day stretch.
He said, “I hit putts where I was wanting to hit them, but they just weren't taking the break”.
Meanwhile two strong contenders from second round Oliver Fisher and Felipe Aguilar maintained their positions on the leaderboard and are both tied for the third place at the moment.
The duo carded rounds of five-under, 67 and four-under, 68 respectively to stay in contention for the €2,205,000 title.
Although with a deficit of six strokes heading into the final round, there is not much hope for the trailing duo.
Fisher is looking for his second European Tour victory after he landed his maiden title on the tour, the Czech Open last year.
The 23-year-old Englishman turned professional in the year 2006 and has also represented the Great Britain and Ireland in the year 2005.
Fisher posted a more solid back nine on the third day but was not able to continue his excellent putting on the front.
He carded four birdies on the back as against just two of them on the front. He also dropped a shot at par-four, 9th.
Aguilar, the Chilean Professional golfer, is also in search of his second European Tour victory.
A University of North Florida graduate, Aguilar has six professional titles on his belt and the 37-year-old Chilean is hoping to win a title in order to claim a place in the major events ahead.
Pulling in a humble three-under, 69 on the second day, Aguilar carded another strong four-under, 68 to stay in contention.
He carded six birdies and dropped two shots through the 18-hole stretch.
