Cazoo Open de France - Day three digest

Everything you need to know from Moving Day at Le Golf National.

Rasmus

Rasmus Højgaard showed excellent fighting spirit as he battled back from a quintuple-bogey eight early in his third round to lead going into day four of the 2022 Cazoo Open de France.

Here is everything you need to know from Moving Day at Le Golf National.

Højgaard fights back after early struggles

Rasmus Højgaard went into the third round with a mammoth six-stroke lead but gave away all six shots in his first three holes and had to do a complete reset. He regained his composure in style, making five birdies and two bogeys in his remaining 15 holes to lead by one on 12 under par. He said: "It's obviously not the Saturday I wanted but at the same time I'm just happy that I stayed in there, managed to make some birdies and I still have the lead. So I'm looking forward to tomorrow."

Crocker's awesome ace

American Sean Crocker pulled off a spectacular hole-in-one at the par-three 11th, holing his tee-shot from 169 yards with a seven iron.

Pieters' perfect round

Thomas Pieters had a sensational Moving Day in Paris, carding five birdies and no bogeys in his 66 to get within two shots of the lead. Could he be the danger man in the final round?

Rozner wows home crowd

Local favourite Antoine Rozner chipped in from the semi-rough behind the sixth green and it's fair to say his home fans enjoyed it. Just listen to the roar...

Big finishes

Ryder Cup star Jamie Donaldson produced this delightful approach into the last to set up a close-range birdie. He is on eight under par after three rounds and very much in contention going into Sunday.

Another man who saved his best for last is George Coetzee, who pulled off this lovely shot at the 18th to make a birdie and close the gap at the top to just one shot.
