Callum Tarren retains slim lead ahead of final day

Bapco Energies Bahrain Championship R3

Callum Tarren started the day with a two-shot lead and started well making three birdies over the first seven holes before going on to make three bogeys to close with an even par 72 and retain a narrow lead at 13-under at the Bapco Energies Bahrain Championship.

“I’m a bit frustrated really. I got off to such a good start, felt so comfortable,” said the Englishman. I just missed a few putts in that mid-section of the round, three-putted the eighth, a short one at the ninth, a good chance at the tenth and didn’t capitalise.

“At the 11th I felt like the tee-shot wasn’t bad, it got a hard kick right, I think. Then it’s tough to that back flag, a short putt on the next. And then I kind of hung in there coming in. Frustrated but still in the lead and we’ll go again tomorrow.

“I’ve felt comfortable all week and I felt comfortable out there today. The start showed it – through seven holes I was cruising.

“Just a couple of missed putts here and there but that’s golf. Final group tomorrow again and I have the lead so there’s lots of positives to take from it.”

England’s Brandon Robinson Thompson made just one bogey and five birdies for a 68 to take a share of second place at 12-under alongside compatriot Daniel Brown who fired an eagle at the par-5 3rd and made three birdies as well as four bogeys for a 71.

Also tied in second place are Italy’s Francesco Laporta who also eagled the 3rd and made two bogeys and four birdies for a 68 as well as Spain’s Pablo Larrazábal who opened with back-to-back bogeys and went on to make four birdies.
