Scottie Scheffler kept up his impressive form and holds a four shot lead going into the final round. When Matt Fitzpatrick was asked what he expects from Scottie in the final round….. he answered “Hopefully a blow up”. It’s hard to see Scottie not being in contention at the end of the day unless someone has an unbelievable round.

In our Last Man Standing we’re back to a three way tie after Rasmus Højgaard finished a couple of shots behind Harris English. As it stands John, Kevin and Jim will share the prize pot but after the previous few tournaments where the leader has changed in the last couple of holes, could we see a twist at the end again in the race for the £16,650 prize pot.

Top 10

The top 10 after Round 3 is as follows:

1st – John Maloney -31 (-14, -9, -8)

1st – Kevin Connell 2 -31 (-14, -9, -8)

1st – Jim Cheung 5 -31 (-14, -9, -8)

5th – Ste Pierce 3 -28 (-14, -8, -6)

5th – Ste Byrne -28 (-14, -8, -6)

9th – Alexander Thomas 2 -27 (-14, -9, -4)

9th – Bay Hewson -27 (-14, -9, -4)

9th – Pauline Duncan 3 -27 (-14, -9, -4)

Our general rule of thumb is that if you’re within 10 shots of the lead, you’re still in contention and that is definitely the case here with the leaderboard being pretty tight and the scoring being so variable!

Good luck to those still in contention. It’s going to be a nervy finish!
