After two first days dominated by the Tricolores, it is the turn of the English to take power in Spain. Leader at the start this morning Romain Langasque had a checkered third lap, conceding four bogeys for just two birdies, and dropped to 4th after signing a 73 (+2) card. Too bad, because the route of the Real Club Valderrama seemed the most affordable today, evidenced by the 21 cards under the par recorded, against 18 yesterday and only 10 Thursday. Nevertheless Langasque did not abdicate since he remains well placed to go and win a second title on the European tour : it will be necessary for that to fill a deficit of five blows on the Englishman Laurie Canter, new leader at -7 thanks to a very good 67 (-4), and one on his compatriot Matt Fitzpatrick, only 2nd to -4.
