“Putting (has been key). I struggled on the greens the first day and I’ve managed to find some great confidence and I’m seeing them roll in.

“My game has been in great form for the last couple of months and I feel like everything is clicking again. I’m working on the right things, doing the right things with my coach.

“We’ll see what tomorrow brings, I’m really excited. I’m playing some really confident golf, I’m hitting all of my targets, driving it well and putting well, so not much really can go wrong.

“I think 14 under will be the winning number, so I’ll just stay aggressive, take care of the par fives. There are a couple of tough holes out here, so hit the fairway and that’s it.”

Another birdie for Rasmus Højgaard… just!

Denmark’s Rasmus Højgaard shares the lead after completing the second round with a 69 and shooting another in the third round.

“Overall, my driving has been key. You need good driving to do well out here – there’s so much trouble on each side.

“I’ll just try to stay as calm as possible tomorrow. Don’t try to force anything. If I can have a clear focus and not try to hit difficult types of shots, try to keep it simple as possible. I’ve got a good feeling.”

South Africans Thriston Lawrence (65) and Branden Grace (71) are tied in third place at 8-under ahead of compatriot Christiaan Bezuidenhout (68) and overnight co-leader Luke Donald of England who carded a 73.

New Zealand’s Ryan Fox, who shared the overnight lead, carded a 72 for a share of seventh place at 6-under alongside England‘s Tommy Fleetwood (70) and India‘s Shubhankar Sharma (69).
