Lucas Bjerregaard was three strokes off the lead on two under par when he returned to complete his second round. He made five birdies on the back nine to take a two shot lead then signed for a third-round bogey-free 66 and will take a two-shot lead at 12-under into the final day at the Danish Golf Championship.
“A bogey-free round is never bad,” said the Dane. “Especially with the finish we have out here. I’m very happy. I played solid.
“I had a bit of a stretch mid-round where I had some good up-and-downs to keep the round going, then I got on a bit of a birdie run at the start of the back nine, so that’s nice.”
Bjerregaard has won twice on the DP World Tour, at the 2017 Portugal Masters and the 2018 Alfred Dunhill Links Championship, but is currently playing on the European Challenge Tour.
“I think I’ve been in a different position this year than I’ve been used to. I don’t have very good status on the Challenge Tour so I’ve been playing on invites and top-tens and so on.
“So I haven’t been able to plan very much so it’s been one day at a time. And I think that’s really what’s been working well for me so I’ll try to do that again tomorrow.
“I just need to stay in the moment. I haven’t been able to plan very well and that’s been good for me. I’ll just try and do a bit more of that. I’ve been struggling and had hard times the last couple of years, so everything is just one step at a time and trying to survive.”
France’s Romain Langasque closed with a 66 and lies in second place at 10-under with Danish amateur Jacob Skov Olesen a further shot behind in third place.
England’s Andrew Wilson shot a 67 for a share of fourth place at 8-under.
