Marcus Kinhult started the day with a three-shot lead and fired six birdies and three bogeys to sign for a 3-under 69 on Saturday an reacdh 14-under. He takes a two-shot lead at the Alfred Dunhill Championship in his search for a second DP World Tour title.
“It was a bit more of a grind today,” said Kinhult. “The good was very good but I left myself in some tough positions as well and had to grind.
“I think I did pretty well. It feels like it was less greens in regulation and more pressure on the short game today.
“Sleeping on a lead is not easy, I think. It’s only Saturday so it wasn’t that bad – I actually slept all right last night and hope I will tonight again.
“I enjoy playing this golf course and I look forward to the challenge tomorrow.”
