Everything you need to know about your third day in Germany.
Guido Migliozzi and Laurie Canter were tied for first place, Tom McKibbin battled for the ball from distance, Jayden Schaper was forced to wait and Jannik De Bruyn drove the home crowd wild on day three of the European Open.
Here’s everything you need to know about Saturday’s Green Eagle Golf Course.
Top tied
Migliozzi birdied three of his final four holes for a bogey-free 67 to move into the final round tied with Kanter atop the leaderboard. The Italian started the day six shots behind overnight leader Kanter but tallied six birdies to move him to 12 under as he seeks his fourth DP World Tour title. Kanter held a four-shot lead early in the tournament but dropped three shots in as many holes at the turn before showing all his fighting qualities to shoot an even-par 73 to move back on top. Denmark's Niklas Norgaard finished one shot behind the leader with a 71, one shot ahead of local favorite De Bruyne and France's Tom Vaillant.
Then why can’t I get in?
That was the question everyone was asking when McKibbin hit his most spectacular shot. The defending champion was in a fairway bunker 206 yards away on the 13th hole, but his drive from the bunker went straight down the fairway and rolled beautifully before hitting the pin and staying where it was.
He himself could hardly believe this fact.
Wait a minute…
McKibbin’s near miss was all the more stunning after seeing what his partner, Michael Schapper, did on the previous hole. It’s rare that a 78-foot putt goes in. It’s even rarer that one like this goes in.
Lawn Keepers, Stop Looking Now
But we think Kanter didn't damage a single blade of grass when he chipped on the 11th green.
Listen to that roar
De Bruyne had plenty to cheer for the home crowd this week, and they certainly gave a big cheer when he holed his ball out of a bunker on the fifth hole.
