The leaders made early moves at the start of the third round of the PGA Seniors Championship with Carl Mason the outright leader on 14 under after seven holes.
Mason eagled the second and birdied the fifth, sixth and seventh with just a bogey on the third at Stoke by Nayland's Gainsborough Course.
Bruce Heuchan was at 11 under while Luis Carbonetti moved to 12 under after a birdie on three and an eagle on five.
Costantino Rocca moved to 11 under after early birdies on two and four while Kibworth's Bob Larratt eagled the 412 yard par four 9th.
Meanwhile Bramhall Golf Club's Richard Green savouring his first cut had a disappointing 75.
"I played good but just didn't hole any putts," he said.
"I loved it but it was just disappointed with the score. I felt I played well enough to get under par but just got a little frustrated around 10 and 11.
"I bogeyed 10 from the middle of the fairway and made three putts from the edge of the green on 11."
