3- Of the Bordeaux native's four European Tour victories have come when leading or co-leading going into the final round. He could make that four from five tomorrow with what would be a second wire-to-wire win after the Open de Portugal in 2008

6 - Number of fairways hit by Bourdy in the third round yet he still made 15 Greens in Regulation. Scrambling.
