CHRIS DOAK MOVES UP IN WEATHER-HIT
CHALLENGE TOUR EVENT IN FRANCE
England’s Tim Milford had more reason than most for feeling frustrated when darkness called a halt to the third round of the weather-affected Open des Volcans – Challenge de France, the fifth last event on the 2006 Challenge Tour Schedule.
The 38 -year-old professional from Maidstone, still seeking his maiden victory at this level, had just reeled off four birdies in a row to move into a share of fifth place when the players were called off the course.
Milford was three under par for 15 holes and five under overall, six strokes behind the leader, Germany’s Martin Kaymer, who was level par for 10 holes of his third round.
The next best Brits were Sion E Bebb of Wales and Nick Faldo protégé James Heath of England, both of whom were four under after 12 holes.
Scotland’s Chris Doak managed to finish his round and returned a 68 to move from level par at the start of the day to three under.
Going in the opposite direction was Michael McGeady, the only Irishman to have survived the 36-hole cut. He carded a third-round 73 to drop back to two over par.
The third round will be completed on Sunday morning before the players commence their final 18 holes.
