Northern towns, crazy 68s, 37-year records, blustery winds. We recap a brilliant Moving Day at Crans-sur-Sierre Golf Club.
2 - Players from Sheffield, Yorkshire, England poised to go head-to-head for the Omega European Masters with Danny Willett and Matt Fitzpatrick tied at the top on 12 under with 18 holes to come. Reet good.
6 - Pars in Raphael Jacquelin's crazy 68, which also featured eight birdies, three bogeys and a triple bogey. The Frenchman is two back heading into Sunday.
37- Years since someone retained the title in Crans Montana (Seve Ballesteros, 1978). 2014 winner David Lipsky has a chance of breaking that record tomorrow in fourth place following Moving Day.
3 - Days running now that the scoring average has risen (Thursday - 69.90, Friday - 70.29, Saturday - 71.20)
20 - Miles per hour winds recorded amidst the toughest conditions seen all week
17 - Number of players that broke par on Saturday
1 - Birdie all day on the 540-yard first (Chris Doak). The par four ranked hardest hole on Moving Day, with 34 bogeys or worse recorded at an average of 4.45
4 - Eagles all day, compared to 42 over the first two days in Switzerland (Danny Willett - 15, Pelle Edberg - 10, Sergio Garcia - 9, Jyoti Randhawa - 9)
122 - Yards out Edberg holed out from with a pitching wedge at the tenth
44 - Number of places up the leaderboard Crans Montana resident Sergio Garcia jumped on Saturday - the biggest move on Moving Day - largely thanks to a run of birdie-birdie-eagle to finish on the front nine (his back nine today)
2 - Players that made the belated cut on Saturday morning with a birdie at their last hole (Scott Jamieson on the ninth, Adilson Da Silva on the 18th)
4 - Of the five players tipped for success in the Fantasy five to watch this week currently inside the top 20 going into Sunday (Willett, Ramsay, Garcia, Westwood)
