NEW LEADER
Oooh, that was close! Alex Noren just dribbles his downhill putt in the left side of the hole from eight feet or so. It goes in, though, and the Swede is now one ahead with two holes to play.

PLAYING DARTS
From 156 yards, Alex Noren fades a wonderful approach to hole-high at the 16th and will have a chance to move one in front with two holes to play. How big a moment will that prove to be?

AND THEN THERE WERE TWO
Hojgaard came up short with his approach into the 16th, which was into the wind, and was faced with a tough short-sided chip from the right rough. He had to take his chances with a mid-range par putt as a consequence but just pushed it narrowly wide. Unfortunately, that is an untimely bogey for Hojgaard with only two holes to play.

NOREN INTO A SHARE
The experienced Swede shows his quality to chip close at the 15th and then tidy up for birdie. Noren has moved on to 15-under as Hojgaard finds himself in a spot of trouble at the very next hole…

CHASERS FALLING
After local man, Andy Sullivan bogeys the last to finish on 12-under. Keita Nakajima looked dangerous coming towards home, but he won’t do any better than 14-under. In fact, the Japanese players chops out of the bunker at 18 before missing his par putt and will end on 13-under thanks to a closing 67. His only dropped stroke of the day has arrived on 18.

MISSED CHANCE
Hojgaard has been excellent so far today on five-under, but he’s just wasted a chance at the par-5 15th to make birdie and nudge himself in front. His wedge into the 15th scurried to the back edge of the green, but the Dane missed his 10-12 foot roll towards the hole. I wonder if he’s been affected by Kobori drawing alongside him.

KOBORI TAKES CLUBHOUSE LEAD
Young Kiwi talent, Kazuma Kobori has just finished up with a round of 65 to take the clubhouse lead out of nowhere! This is a kid who, very early in his career, had matched Tiger Woods’ early win record. He has plenty of talent, don’t you worry about that.
And he proves it by draining a massive birdie putt on the 18th from the lower tier. The smile on his face is as big as the lake protecting the ninth and 18th greens.
WHAT A FINISH! Kazuma Kobori finishes five under for his final four holes to set the clubhouse target at -15 🙌 pic.twitter.com/9EbSS8HTLsAugust 24, 2025
