Well he isn’t a lion tamer yet, but he did manage another 68 to tame the high winds at Stockholm and maintain his lead going into the final day.
Joint overnight leaders Sam Walker and Henrik Nysstrom showed they don’t have a taste for wind play with 72 and 73 respectively.
Great golfers can play in any conditions. They can hit it low under the wind for extra distance and control. They can shape the ball using the wind to their advantage. Conversely some golfers simply can’t play in the wind and lose ground quickly.
Another player who did well in the wind was Aussie Andrew Tampion of Australia firing a 67 to move into a tie for 13th. Andrew was my wild card for this tournament and certainly if he maintains his position it will be his best finish on the European Tour to date. He has talent to burn this bloke so keep an eye out for him.
Another having his best tournament of the season is lil kiwi battler Stevie Alker. In a country with plenty of wind to practise in I guess its no surprise. He closed the day with a 67 after rounds of 74 and 68 on the first two days.
James Kingston of South Africa shares the third round lead with Kaymer. Paul Broadhurst, Nick Dougherty, and Mikko Llonen are 3 adrift.
