Sweden’s Alexander Bj\u00f6rk, who won his only DP World Tour title in 2018, recovered from a double bogey and bogey on the front nine and closed birdie-eagle for a 69 to move to the top of the leaderboard.<\/p>\n

“It would mean a lot. It\u2019s always fun to win. It was a long time ago, so hopefully I can go out and do it tomorrow.”<\/p>\n

Dane John Axelsen also carded a 69 for his share of the lead.<\/p>\n

2017 champion Jordan Smith of England, Northern Irishland’s Tom McKibbin and Scotland’s David Law all carded 72s to join them at the top.<\/p>\n

“I was just happy to play nicely on the back nine and make some putts, which I didn\u2019t do on the front nine,” said Smith.<\/p>\n

“We\u2019ll go figure some things out and see what tomorrow brings.<\/p>\n

“Everyone will say it (winning) would mean everything, but it would mean everything.<\/a> It would be nice to win in front of my wife and it would be great to get that third win under my belt.<\/a>”<\/p>\n
