Out as one of the later starters, Jamieson made his move up the leaderboard by carding three consecutive birdies from the third and picking up a shot at the par-four 10th.

Back-to-back birdies from the 14th gave Jamieson the outright lead, before the world No 283 took advantage of the par-five last to double his advantage.
