“I’m feeling good,” said the Spaniard. “I wish most of my rounds could be as organised as this one. I don’t feel like I did anything special, maybe the up-and-down on 17, but I just played consistent golf, put the ball in play, and the few times I missed the tee shot I was never really out of it.

“I had a shot to the green and I was able to pull it off every time, so only one stressful part on 17 and besides that, there were a lot of good birdie looks and par putts. Hopefully I can play another round like that tomorrow because I felt like I kept going shot by shot and I was six under.”

“Hopefully my best round can be tomorrow. Let’s hope for that and have an enjoyable walk down 18. That would be a perfect day.”

Rahm has won the title twice, in 2018 and 2019, and could match Seve Ballesteros’ tally with a third win on Sunday.

Australia’s Min Woo Lee carded a 66 for solo second place at 15-under.

Scots Stephen Gallacher (70) and Marc Warren (65) share third place at 13-under with England’s Eddie Pepperell (67), Thailand’s Kiradech Aphobarnrat (68), France’s Matthieu Pavon (68) and South Africa’s Louis de Jager (65).
