DRYSDALE LOVES THE COURSE

David Drysdale sang the praises of Leopard Creek Country Club after Saturday's 64 saw him jump up the leaderboard at the Alfred Dunhill Championship.

The Scot began the day eight strokes behind halfway leader and home favourite Brandon Stone after posting rounds of 70 and 71 on Thursday and Friday respectively.

But Drysdale, playing his 408th European Tour event this week, made a fantastic start to his third round, reaching the turn in 30, courtesy of gains at the second, fourth, sixth, seventh and ninth.

And after picking up another shot at the 11th, Drysdale rolled in his ten foot birdie putt at the 13th before repeating the trick from eight feet at the next.

The 41 year old Scot from Dunbar finished his round with a great par save at the 18th to head into Sunday's fourth round on 11 under par, six shots behind leader Stone.

Drysdale, who has his wife Victoria on the bag this week, said: "It's a fantastic golf course - one of my favourites. It's one of the first events I pencil in for my season every year.

"I love coming down here. The course is amazing.

"It's such a good golf course, I think every aspect of your game is tested.

"The greens can be slopey - quite quick in places - so your putting is definitely tested, you've got to drive the ball straight and you've got to hit your irons to the correct places to give yourself chances.

"And also it throws up half a dozen really demanding shots over water.

"There's no let-up and it's so hot here as well."
