Everything you need to know from Moving Day in Spain.
Rafa rolled into the lead, Adri was feeling the love, a local amateur was making a splash and bunkers were no hazard at all on day three of the 2021 Acciona Open de España presented by Madrid.
Here is everything you need to know from Saturday in the Spanish capital.
Rafa looking to complete the set
Rafa Cabrera Bello may be 37 now but in his formative years he was the dominant force in Spanish amateur golf, winning the national championship at every age group from under-seven to under-18. Since turning professional he hasn't done too badly either, winning three European Tour titles including a Rolex Series event and representing Europe at the Ryder Cup. He will take a two shot lead into the final round in Madrid as he looks to win for the first time in four years, and would love to add a professional national title to his amateur success. "It would be amazing," he said. "I've won every Spanish amateur title there is and I'm missing this one which would be the pinnacle of Spanish golf. I'm going to have a very good chance at it tomorrow but I'm sure there'll be more chances in the future too so I'll just go out there, have fun, feed off the crowd and try to put on a show for them again."
Arnaus seeking 'dream' win
Adri Arnaus had huge crowds following him on day three as he went out in the final group alongside Jon Rahm and he will have the same again when he goes out last alongside Cabrera Bello on Sunday. A three time runner up in his rookie season in 2019, he will have to overturn a two shot deficit if he is to claim a first win - a result he himself has called a "dream come true". "It would be really special and a dream come true," he said. "Growing up and playing Spanish events as an amateur, dreaming of being part of the bigger stuff, and here we are. So it is going to be a cool moment and I am looking forward to having my chance on that back nine."
Bunker brilliance
On Friday it was Graeme Storm holing bunker shots and on day three countryman Matthew Jordan got in on the act. Take a bow.

More bunker brilliance
Not all great bunker shots have to go in. Sorry Matthew but this one from Guerrier might be even better. Wow.
10/10 👏

Puig playing with the pros
David Puig is having quite the European Tour debut in his home open. The 19-year-old is fifth in the World Amateur Golf Ranking and after opening rounds of 68-67, a third consecutive round in the 60s moved him to nine under with 18 holes to play. We could have another Spanish superstar on our hands.
Fantástica actuación 👏🏻👏🏻

For those of you who don't speak Spanish, that says: "Fantastic performance. Rubs shoulders with professionals."
