Jamieson shot a four-under-par 68 in his third round, including birdies at the 15th and last holes, to move to 11 under for the tournament.
Ireland’s Shane Lowry and Belgian Thomas Pieters are tied in second place on 10 under after they both shot 67s.
“It would be massive, a game changer to win a tournament of this stature,” said Jamieson, aiming for a second Tour win.
“There’s definitely been some great champions here and there’s an awful long way to go.”
