Renato Paratore of Italy and American Sean Crocker made the most of the challenging conditions at Crans-sur-Sierre Golf Club and moved into a shared lead at 10-under in the Omega European Masters.

“Today I enjoyed it a lot, I made a lot of good saves and the crowd was also amazing,” said Paratore. Over the last few holes I holed a bunker shot and had some up-and-downs to finish with a good one under.

“We play to enjoy it and to entertain the crowds, so it was good, there were lots of Italians and a good support.

“I didn’t play my best golf today, but in these tough conditions I managed to shoot one under, which for today was a really good score, normally maybe not that good.”

Paratore produced four birdies and three bogeys for a 69 while Crocker signed for a 64, the low round of the day, after firing six birdies, an eagle at the par-5 14th and two bogeys.

“It was one of those rounds where I didn’t really know what was going on, it just kind of went that way,” said Crocker.

“I bogeyed the first hole, got a bit aggressive and banged driver down two, had about 64 yards to the pin and had an easy birdie there. Kind of got the momentum going from there.

“It was kind of tough out there, wind swirling, I just had to play my own golf and stay away from the leaderboard.

“I’ll just play my game, whatever happens tomorrow it’s just one of those things. If I win, I don’t, it doesn’t matter to me, I just want to go and play some golf.”

Englishmen Ross McGowan and Matthew Jordan are tied in third place at 9-under alongside Spain’s Jorge Campillo after all three signed for 69s.

“The scores suggest (how difficult it was). It was colder, the wind was a slightly different direction, which seemed to make it more difficult. Sometimes the ball would get through it, sometimes it would pick it up, so compared to the first two days I found it was more difficult to hit it close, pick the yardages.

“The first and the fourth are playing quite tough, so once you get through them it starts to open up slightly. You’ve still got to hit the shots and take advantage of them, but once you get through them you feel like you can pick up some birdies, and eagles of course. The par fives were all reachable.

“It was frustrating, I missed loads of chances coming in, on ten, 13, silly three putt on 14, I missed another smallish putt on 16. I was playing alright, I just couldn’t hole any putts so it was nice to get one to drop on 17, annoying to give it back on 18 straight away. Towards the end it was just about keeping myself in in, not doing anything stupid.”
