Well, we’ve had the advantage of seeing what the right shot is here. 15 ft right of the flag, 15 ft past it, and you’ll get a result. Or better or better. [Applause] Just four from the right hand side. There’s a big drop off to the right as well. So, missing it right is not an option. And that’s a very good shot from Sadier. But let’s get you down to the action here at three. Mimu Lee from the heart of the green for birdie at the par three. Greens are still running absolutely beautifully. And there you go. That’s the way you bounce back from the bogey at the first. Freddy shot ball above his feet. And that is a delightful little pitch. Elvis Smiley having a dig at six. Ellie, a fellow Aussie. What a beautiful shot. I’m glad Elvis Smiley is Smiley. It would have been a travesty if it’d been a miserable so and so with a surname like that, wouldn’t it? Antoine Rosner in the sand at 18. Go on. Fabulous bouncy shot. What a way to end your day. [Applause] Overhanging branches just out of sight on the top of the screen in his mind. But what a shock that is. I love when you get very specific like this. It’s really fun for all of us. Well, yeah. Hopefully they split the prize in that case, but you never know. Michael Kim, look at this from under the tree at 13. Good. How good was that? That is absolutely I think shot of the day so far. They have a lot of fun out there. I think his parents missed a trick. I would have called him smiley smiley. We got a smiley coffman, haven’t we? Nicholas Norg will be smiling after that. Yeah. And uh very different story so far today for Armitage who pard the first than that did this down the second from the right rough straight at it. Yes. And it was a big move too from Frederick Laqua delighting the home fans. Seven underplay 16. That was for a birdie. That got him to eight under par. But sadly just in sight of the Nexo course record 50,000 bonus. He finishes. Bogey bogey. Here’s Deleo for a two. No one would begrudge him that. He’s one over on the day. Hello. Hello. Well worthy of a fist pump. Nice bounce back birdie. in the Australian PGA in what about seven or eight weeks to pick up too. [Applause] You little beauty he says right up alongside Minui now. Go over to Milotsi here at six par five. It take something as good as Freddy Shaw. I would take something every bit as good. Very nearly jumping in on the second bounce. Jamie Spencer’s pick for the week. Darius Vandreel. Seven under right now. Oh, even better. Just don’t tell Jamie. Nice move. I’m listening, Rowey. I’m listening. Well, I was lucky enough to pick a homage. Jamie, as you know, in the rhythm of short game. Take a look at that shot there. Keep well from 136 yards at nine and he’s hit at 135 and a half. Beautiful shot. Now he’s aiming at the FedEx sign behind the green there which is the TV tower and and nothing more than that. Oh, you say that and then he I tell you what, he’s pushed that [Applause] Elvis smiley. Beautiful stroke. You said yesterday, Roi, how many left-handers look like they’ve got that magical rhythm. Here is a Jong Co for his birdie at five. Stepped it in. He’ll have plenty of home fans here. A Paris boy. He uh is based over on the the other side of Paris to where we are over in the east. That’s a beauty. He’s had this ability all week, Armitage. He’s dropped a shot and then he’s bounced back really well. Yeah, this would have been an easier pin yesterday, wouldn’t it, Rowey? With the firm greens. We know over the years we’ve seen this front flag. People pitch it just left of the flag and it just fizzes off into the water. Deleo semi parachute shot required or an easier stretch. Yeah, very valuable and a great read there. You see right to left it was about a ball outside right. Brilliant reply to the birdie of Mimu and he just keeps that three shot advantage and it’s been a very bright start by Marcus. So he would have to really catch fire. It’s not an easy stretch. We’ll go up to 16. Vanril and that was pretty handy after being out of position there at the par five. Walked away with a birdie nonetheless. Don’t have to paint pictures on the scorecard. Yeah, coming off an eagle at the last hole. A big move. Just a wedge today. Nothing more. Control the spin is key. Yeah, done it well. Really well. But if you stop, I think it’s a penalty. Big move on offer here for Michael Kim for an eagle at the eighth. It’s trickling down and finds the bottom. What a move from him. Four under for the last five holes. Wet and a bit thicker. You need to really keep the speed up here. 97 yds. Like you said, loving this follow through. Really gouged it out, didn’t he? Oh, good shot. Another really good shot from the rough I have to say as well. Seems like the angle of attack follow through looks quite controlled almost. Go up to co here at seven. No, it is anyway. Come blind me. I think he said no before he hit that. Exactly. I thought so. Oh no. I’d hate to know what this Yes. Yes. Is great shot. Laid up with the par five six and not getting caught up with a left hand. Steep slope left of the flag. That’s okay. Look at the rhythm. Just look at the rhythm. Well, one of the very best in the world around the greens is Mimu Lee. Chance to get within four of the lead. Nice. One evades him there at eight, but still it’s a nice round coming together. Three under for the day. Go up one to Kim at nine. Beautiful. That’s two lovely putts held back to back for Eagle Birdie Milotsi. Way below the level of the green. So, this is the percentage shot, I would have to say. Well done. Didn’t see it go in, but we know it did now. Now, Co at 10. Well spoken, isn’t he? Beautiful English. Nicely done. And his Korean parents taught him calmness. That probably explains why I am Ellie with a fiery little Italian mother. Oh yes. Anything to avoid a double. Well hold, sir. So four under on the day. And is it going to be five under? Yes, it is. He’s got his putting boots on today. catch up with him here at 10. Good T-shot. Hasn’t left too much in and he’s made use of it. Nice. That for the birdie. Three time winner on the Alps tour. Brooks Keepka cut his teeth on the hotel planner tour here in Europe. That is a very nice birdie at 13. [Applause] The golf course has looked pretty much the same since we first came here 30 odd years ago. The the trees were mature then. That’s a a clever way to play it. There’s a back stop behind the hole. Ameliosi is looking like getting to double figures now. Shot to shoot forward which he does. Up to eight under par. should be getting this close really from this range 100% inc should that’s good shot you’d expect him to get up and down six out of 10 minimum from that sort of range that’s a much better pitch don’t go right don’t go long and he knows exactly what he’s [Applause] Little shinier for Mimui. So give it a bit more break off the right this time. Can he strike now? Just catches that bottom edge. He is within one. Minmu Lee. 15 ft left. Good shot. Oh, I don’t know. I don’t want to miss it. Right. That’s the only thing. Big run off. You’d be 25 yards away. But I said this is the part of the course where he kind of warmed up the other day and that is world class there. And it looks a bit plugged as well. Oh, that is just absolutely outrageous how good that bunker shot is. Wind off the left. There’s a back stop there to protect you. Bit of a safety net. Oh, it’s good. This is really good. [Applause] He’s only gone and got it. Kept to double digits now. It makes everything worthwhile. Now, how does he play this one? Uh, the answer is very well indeed. He actually could have laid up further back in all honesty and not been so greedy. But in the end it might not matter all day and Manuel Lee. There it is. We have a new leader offer. But you can’t even be eyeing that up. You’ve got to look just left at this flag fighting to make a par. Yeah, he’s going to go long surely. Yeah, there you go. And then bring the spin back. This is a great golf shot. Go in. [Applause] You’re off for Waywood T-shot. This would be a big bonus. [Music] Wow. So that’s for double digits for Kim as well. Sure does. In it goes. So Kim five under on the day. Kepka six under on the day. He’s got to cut the corner. He’s got to cut this. He likes it. He likes it. That’s magnificent. It’s a tough job. Good chip from Elvis Smiley to here so he can get to nine under. A lot of players can still win this. Yeah, just on the TV town as Jamie says, turn it over slightly. Oh, there. Great shout there from Jamie. Not finished with the birdies. It’s a gimme. It is a birdie. Name the flag as well. It’s a great angle. Can he make five birdies in a row? Oh, it’s brilliant. It’s brilliant. Oh, it’s another Well, I’m going to say again, there’s a little bit more work in that. He’s trying to extend his season. He’s 81st. Top 70. He make it to uh Abu Dhabi now. Sadier rock solid at 17. [Applause] [Applause] [Music] You betcha. Oh, seven to get it within 3 ft. Yeah, not easy. [Applause] It’s just so fast down there. It’s third here at the par five. Got to commit to this. You need quite a bit of speed. Get it all the way up there. And that is glorious. It really is. Brooks Keep cut. Ah, an unexpected miss from our leader. Switches down grain. Should be breaking off his left all the way. Wonder if Armitage is going to step in. [Applause] What a fabulous effort that was. Long range putting been very good. Mimui [Applause] a bit of loft here. Just brilliant. Brilliant. same over edit like Kepka did as well. Lipped out on the same lip and that might have just put Guido Milotsi into the final group if we do have three balls. [Applause] And it goes round of 68.
