Less successful than during the first two days Romain Langasque will not start in the last part on Sunday in Andalusia. On this merciless track of Valderrama, the Azure nevertheless retains all his chances.
Rather very solid from tee to green it is putter in hand that Romain Langasque fished on Saturday.
A “mini” failure in this sector of the game which did not allow him to return a 3rd card under the consecutive par.
His many birdie chances touched the hole and the winner of the Wales Open 2020 was no more successful when it came to saving the par like his small missed putt at the 18.
Master Canter
Hesitations on the greens that has not been known Laurie Canter. Author of his 8th birdie of the day at 18th, will the 31-year-old Englishman finally succeed in winning the European Tour?
2nd in the BMW PGA Championship in Wentworth at the beginning of September, Canter has already finished on the 2nd step of the podium three times in the past.
A series which he wants to end this Sunday on the side of Sotogrande and if he repeats his performance of the 3rd round we do not see what could prevent him.
Birdie number seven of the day for @LaurieCanter.

Fitzpatrick the magician of the greens
On the other hand, the slightest drop in the speed of the player from Bath, a beautiful spa town in the west of England, would give his compatriot the opportunity Matthew Fitzpatrick to make up for the 3 strokes of delay that he has counted on the eve of the last lap.
The one whose last success dates from the end of 2020 at the Dubai Final will once again be able to rely on his extraordinary little game, on and off the green.

Lipsky’s 64 record
The third man in the last part will be the American David Lipsky.
The 33-year-old Californian has proven to those in doubt that it is possible to score very low in Valderrama.
By surrendering a 64 card on Saturday he not only equaled the tournament record set by Daniel Brooks in 2017 and Sergio Garcia in 2018 but above all jumped 42 places in the standings!
Pavon in the top 20
In addition to the top 5 of Langasque and the top 10 of Julien warrior which somehow limited the breakage with a second card of 73, note the very nice operation carried out by Matthieu pavon.
The 68 of the Girondin at the start of the day allowed him to integrate the top 20 as the players of the last games returned their cards.
