The European Swing takes us to Tuscany this week for the Italian Open as players battle for DP World Tour victory and spots at The Open Championship. Reigning champion Marcel Siem enjoyed one of his career highlights as he made a final-hole birdie in regulation play and then overcame Tom McKibbin in a play-off to win last year’s Italian Open. This week, the historic Italian Open takes place at Argentario Golf Club. In honour of Franco Chimenti, former President of the Italian Golf Federation, the best finisher among players born or after January 1, 2000, who make the cut, will be awarded the Memorial Franco Chimenti.

eugenho Shakara this was his little wedge to the par five second had to lay up but was an absolute dead eyee dick there 4 ft away shunned the chance to go for the green though just trying to find this plateau with a little wedge shot which he’s done very nicely laora makes his move gathers up a birdie at the par five well Clemon S has hopped up to the green this for birdie at 16 so he moves to six underpar please the crowd that are following him round shakara in this screenside bunker at five yes he’s played it brilliantly he couldn’t pitch it he pitched it on the green it was gone quickly to Bradbury at four one two three just a wedge and a really nice line the fairway much more like it from Bradbury now can Dan Bradbury guided by David Hal with the putter and knock this left to right breaker in down the hill good work Tim another right to left braking putt here for a birdie up to 18 the par five and Clemont SE a chance for him to break the course record which was set yesterday first by Rafa Cabrera and then matched by Martin Kubra and another excellent shot from Sordday up ahead of the seventh Freddy shot for a birdie here pinned today miles away from the water and in it goes it was just over on the left portion of this green yesterday not today back to back birdies moves him to minus six a second shot to the fifth on its way oh yes that’ll do just about close enough to spin it clicky fingers asking for it to sit down and it does it’s another excellent iron shot from Martin Kubra well Sord he does make a birdie at the last and that’s a wonderful round of goal for the Frenchman two birdies in the last three for a round of 62 and a new course record for Clemo Sod and Martin Kubret moves into a share of the lead albeit it may be brief because Iora is also in close there says hang on i like being at the top of the board a word not just to our encourse reporters but to all our crew out there today because you’re watching these wonderful pictures courtesy of them and it is super hot out there as is Laora’s golf down the seven that was a wonderful second nice calm swing into seven he needs to get going again that’s much better yes level par today as you say Dommy got off to a fairly good start 200 through the first three but dropped a couple cents that’s nicely old it’s a strange looking style isn’t it but it works for him it’s the idiosyncrasies of the pre-shot routine that reminds me of Maroy as well that’s a wonderful wonderful wedge up go down a ridge here as well about there send it downwards it certainly will it’s a magical shot summoning his inner Seviano by Asteros what a good chance gone by there for Kubra well what a cracker yeah that’s excellent that really is a great shot from where he was there down the hill just about there that’s a wonderful shot from Canadian uh yeah well done so he jumps up into a type of sixth now back inside the top 10 comfortably at minus seven and then forward to 11 chakawa nice T-shot lot of movement with the body it makes not a jot of difference it was dispatched firmly into the bottom of the cup if you can get the club right just feed it from the middle of the green across to that pin let the wind do its work don’t fight it oh excellent that was lovely shot right at it what a great shot nicely done the leader strides forward up to 12 under par yeah excellent stuff from Dan Bradbury as how Vorson has done down the hill just a wedge anything you can do I can do better the right to left no shame thought he was going to match him that on its way from 82 yds lovely beautifully manufactured lovely pair of hands he’s got control the ball the famous footballer between the two of them they’ve worked it out perfectly poor shot from a T- shot from Iora at 12 he’s got a dreadful lie here right at the roots of 4 in rough and a ditch 130 yards in front of him i’m not sure he can carry
he’s not i think he’s hit it about 25 yds but again he’s in deep rough just trying to get it back into play well that’s gone down the left side yes no good news I’m afraid hayora’s third shot having whipped it left out of that deep rough has gone into the penalty area down the left hand side so that’ll be a penalty shot of one dropping out for four so playing his fifth shot and still some distance from the target it’s all changed I’m afraid at the top from two shots ahead and Iora drops one behind Martin Kubra back alongside Andreas Halverson it’s to hammer blow at the 14th two behind the lead not playing long just over 130 yard oh lovely shot 135 now there’s a chance there for Sier to move to nine under get up into a tie for second that’s one of them that’s two in a row for Sad so he moves to nine under bar within one vicky Fossa this at 16th T forward Bravo desperate to do well in the Italian Open his national championship poor bunker shot but great putt from Halvor he remains at nine under par it’s ready golf shakara paying out a turn here and spinning it back whole side if you could copy that you’re off to such a great start in the swing the rest of it becomes a lot easier well
he doesn’t seem very happy with it but I think that’s fine oh a little bit of Sebby magic he hasn’t really held anything of length that I can think of today he’s grazed the edges a lot but he’s due a put up oh Martin Kubra there you go the question asked by Iora answered by Kubra how’s your bounce [Applause] the bounce is very nice down the left little bit of help off the back of that Britzio Zenati into the final hole third shot yes yes yes excellent stuff he’s a really nice guy for Britzio this is an uphill right to left or outside chance an outside chance it was but it was duly taken that’s a wonderful finish on the Spaniard Shakara i think that’s what he’s gone for judging where that flight oh it is indeed oh it’s a stunning shot beautiful three absolute gems in there they were well played Dave those
Oh classy to a man all three of them this to go into tomorrow 11 under par with the lead bodia is 17 but he gets that straight back at the 18th with a birdie and it is a Saturday 67 for Martin Kubra the Turkish Airlines Open champion is going to take a one-shot lead into the final round trying to win for the second time in this European swing marta 67 in round three that gives you a one-shot lead at the top how proud are you with that bounceback birdie to finish after dropping a shot in 17
yeah I’m really proud about my about my 18 because I’m really tired on the on the last few holes uh it’s quite difficult with the the heat and like the the course is so tough so we need to be very concentrated but uh but yeah I’m happy about the the 18 how do you keep your focus then going into tomorrow the chance to pick up your second win of the season
yeah I mean one point is really important here on the tour there’s a lot of great players so you have to keep the only only one shot so yeah I try to do my best on the 18 and that’s it
