Day Three Report
Bernd Wiesberger charged to a three-shot lead heading into the final round of the Shenzhen International after a roller coaster day at Genzon Golf Club, China.
The three-time European Tour champion entered round three with a four-shot advantage but quickly saw that wiped out by Grégory Bourdy, who joined Mikko Korhonen in making a hole-in-one on Saturday, however a strong finish from the Austrian saw him sign for a 69 and a 15 under par total.
South African Dylan Frittelli is three shots off the pace (68) after a birdie-birdie finish, with countrymen Dean Burmester and George Coetzee at 11 under, joined by England's Ross Fisher and American David Lipsky in a share of third.
Alexander Levy, a victor here in 2014 at the Volvo China Open and the course record holder, produced an impressive round of 64 to sit alongside fellow Frenchman Bourdy, local favourite Liu Yan-Wei and American Bubba Watson on ten under.
Korhonen won a BYD Tang SUV after acing the 220-yard 16th hole on Saturday morning as he completed his second round. His first hole-in-one on the European Tour, Korhonen wasn’t initially aware he had holed out with his four-iron to win the hybrid car valued at US$43,500.
Bourdy followed suit when he produced his second hole-in-one of the 2017 season on the 185-yard third hole with a seven-iron straight to the pin.
