Still dominated by 25-year-old South African Thriston Lawrence, the prestigious Swiss meeting remains undecided since behind the Springbok they are 10 to stand in three moves. Among them the player of Racing Club de France La Boulie, Antoine Rozner, who returned the best card of the 3rd round on Saturday!
After a second delay the day before, and completed at dawn on Saturday, 7 of the 16 French present in the Swiss Alps have been selected to compete in the last two rounds of the Omega European Masters.
After 36 holes it was Julian Brown who led the French contingent with a place in the top 20 acquired at the cost of 4 birdies recorded on his last third of the course at first light.
Eagle 2 at 135 meters
But this Saturday the best tricolor hopes now rest on the shoulders of the Parisian Antoine Rozner. The double winner on the DP World Tour even improved on his mark of 65 from the day before by signing a remarkable card of 64. With in particular an eagle 2 on the par 4 hole n ° 10 successful at the exit of an iron shot of 136 meters from the fairway!
Clooney en guest star
Rozner, who finished with 4 birdies in 6 holes, is 6 shots behind the leader but his position in ambush in 8th place could allow him to be part of the final package on Sunday, in the event of a lesser blow from the South African. Tristan Lawrence.
Very comfortable again on Saturday, the winner of the Joburg Open 2021, reduced to 36 holes, will he go the distance? In any case, he was unfazed during the 3rd round, despite the presence outside the ropes of George Clooney passing through Switzerland.

The touch around the greens of Lawrence continues to do “mountains and wonders” on the heights of Crans-Sur-Sierre and he now has a comfortable lead of 3 strokes over his closest pursuer, the Englishman Matt Wallace.

Another fine blue-white-red performance worth noting is that of Robin Roussel who would like to offer himself a first career top 10 on the DP World Tour on Sunday, just to end the week of his 29th birthday in style!
