We determine the three-loop coefficient of the beta function in theasymmetric momentum subtraction scheme in Landau gauge. This scheme isconvenient for lattice studies of \alpha_s, the running coupling constant ofQCD. We present high statistics lattice results for \alpha_s in the SU(3)Yang-Mills theory without quark, compare with the three-loop running andextract the value of the corresponding \Lambda_\msbar parameter. We estimatethe systematic error coming from four-loop terms. We obtain the result:\Lambda_\msbar = 295 (5) (15) {a^{-1}(\beta=6.0) \over 1.97 GeV} MeV.Comment: 9 pages, LaTeX with two figures. The final analysis has been revisited to include an estimation of the systematic error coming from higher-order term
