So very still. If you don’t shoot in the 60s today, you are backpedaling. Well, that will do it nicely. So Hland probably with a six yard on its way. 186, maybe a seven. Oh, I tell you what, nearly holding one. The grass is way too gnarly for the ball to dig its toes in and back it up. [Applause] Little lefty, but you’ll take it. Yeah. Season built on the back of a runner up finish at the Hero Dubai Desert Classic earlier in the year. That will work. Now Armitage at seven a hole ahead. That is rock solid too. 30 birdie number four of the round could whack this up into the grain seed. Brilliant. That was so difficult to judge that. Maroy should knock this one in. Surely. Yeah. Second bird of the day and he’s got a par five. Not the next, but the eighth is a par five coming up. Nice layup. He attack this pin. Oh, he certainly can. See if Daniel Hillier can find his birdie here at the first. The per Well, not the perfect start. That would be a three, wouldn’t it? But it’s exactly what you want. The ideal start. Now Victor Hovland at the par five green side nicely played. Is it going in? Nicely done. Rar picture clear here. This goes in. He ties the lead. Oh, which he does. Last moment nudge off a little bit of scruffy green there. Makajima left to right just a little. Oh, it’s an excellent that one. Wriggles in the bottom edge. Couple of birdies for the penultimate group. Kim just struggled to get my words out, man. Did you hear that? I was saying holding from the back of the green. It’s not always the putter that knocks it in. Truly excellent third. An early shot from Larry. Good shot. You have to slip the club underneath. Get it over the fringe. It’ll roll the hole. [Applause] Try not to let your mind get ahead, you know. Don’t think, well, I should be birdie the sixth. That’s a par five and then possibly the eighth. You know, I if you can stay one shot at a time, stay in the present. Cautious with his approach and it made not a jot of difference. Nakima 195 he’s got to the pin here today on the third. He’s on the left side today. It’s well on. 24 on. It’s there. just pulled it. Was a glorious shot. Can’t hit a better shot than that. Can’t hit a better shot than that. And you’re right, Fitzpatrick from 164 yds. Second shot to this sixth pin is just over a little Dell. So you don’t want to be coming up short here, which he has. Look at that. Beautiful. Aim a little bit further right. More margin for error. He’s really rather good. Yeah, very consistent. Hillier at the seventh par three. This to get to 11 under. Does he hit it? Oh, he has just third birdie of the day for Hillier. Chasing pack all the way through it. Fleetwood for 14 under par and a two-stroke lead now. [Applause] Second shot on its way. Six holes left to play for Maroy. More like it. Neca. He’s an unbelievably good putter. Really is. You don’t want to get overly aggressive after that poor start. You just have to let the game come to you. Be patient. It’s got to be Yos Lton at six for his three. Fast p down the hill here down grain. Has he hit it? Yes, he has. Well done. Had a nice celebration last night as well, didn’t you? Dvali with the stars and I hear Brian Adams maybe performed. Danny, absolutely. Yes. Uh obviously a very special time in India this week and and coming up to Monday of course and we celebrated that last night with all our guests and uh very special Brian Adams do what it’ll set for us to try and keep pace and he’s been taking steps in the other direction. So back to level par around now. I think a lot of these players on course are as well this week. But it all starts, you know, right at the beginning. Look at those two from Nakajima and Lowry. That’s always the fear, Alex Fitzpatrick. Oh, taking dead aim there on nine. Nakajima gives you an idea how that’s the view he has off the tea, how tight it is. You got to maneuver the ball left to right here. Trackman following the flight of that one perfectly. This for 32 and he’s done it as well. Excellent stuff. Fits Patrick up to fourth on his own now. 12 under. leaps out of seven players on 10 under pass. He’s leapt out of that bunch. Pops it in. He does. Gets to 14 under. Nakajima to try and make it three players at 14 under par. Nakajima and Larry both in the eighth hole. Two bird is in the first three holes of the back nine for Daniel Hillier. As you saying, you know, if it’s downhill, it’ll be quicker than 12. Third shot of the 18th for Hobland. Hland go into the final round at 12 under, which he does. I don’t think he could have been any worse. He’s hitting loads and loads of fairways this week. He really is. 66. He couldn’t have been much more than that. This is his third though. This is his third. It’s not far off either. That try. We’ll get confirmation on his scoring. One’s better. More balls for birdies. Well done, Kea. Second at the very short 15th. Oh yes. Beautiful. This is a great look for Harmon. No time like the present. He needs to make some birdies. Yes, the time is now. It might be never and he got the message. Brian Harmon for Harmon. He needs to make this. He needs to get a little confidence on his back now. Make a few birdies. He looks pretty handy with the wand. Let me tell you, it’s like a magician. firmer than they are now. This is a relatively soft Delhi golf clubs by Delhi standards by anyone’s standard. That is excellent from Alex Fitzpatrick. Bit of Sandy Green there. Fine week. [Music] [Applause] It was Tom on the high side. Always had a chance. Not the Eagle three. The Eagle two, I should say, to Fleetwood for P. He st forward. He’ll collect that path. That’s an excellent P. Last gasp. Let’s go to Tristan Lawrence here at 16. Kind of on the outskirts. That will help though. 131 for Fleetwood. Couple yards uphill. Green light special. Holes cut eight over that front bucker. And that’s perfectly placed below the hole. Great look coming up. Back in the winner circle for the first time in eight years. Now Nakajima up. He’s got another sandwich of Shane Larry up and over the trees to the front left pin. Go a little go a little go. It went 10 foot left. Larry ping for a three on the 15th to get to within three. [Applause] No eagle, but that’ll be a birdie for him. That’ll be three birdies in the last four holes. Got him right back into this 13 under. That has been flawless for Nakajima. [Applause] in 33 in 32 65. No drop shots. Paul is on the front line. Three coming in. If he puts and plays like that, nobody will nobody will get hold of him tomorrow. Fairly rusted home. It’s the left finish. Oh, horribly set. Thank you. That’s probably where you should have hit it. I said if you missed the green. Perfect. Good luck. Yeah. Might have some bark on the tree around the ball of the green. That’s his dirty. A little revision after that round for Brian Harmon. few better feels than he can reach for. On the back nine and it is another birdie down 18 for Tommy Fleetwood and go on tomorrow trailing by two. Incredible round out there today. Seven under par. What are you most happy with? It looked like everything was going along nicely, but is there an element maybe with your game or mindset that you were most pleased with today? Yeah, it was great day. So, I played with Shane Rory. I love his swing tempo and yeah his golf style. So I learned from uh Shen a lot. So and mindset was was so great. Yeah. What things did you learn from him aside from his swing and feeding off of that perhaps with his mindset on the golf course? Yeah, I copied it. His his swing tempo every shot. Yeah, that why he great. Yeah, hit great. Yeah. You said earlier this week you love golf in India. When you have that mindset, how does that translate into your game? Yeah, I had two good tournament in India already. So yeah, I had confidence for play in here and also one more day just keep going. Yeah. What would a win tomorrow mean to you? Uh same thing, same mindset. I copying with Shen swing. Yeah. That simple. Yeah. play golf. Hopefully you can channel your inner shame for a win tomorrow. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
