“I love this golf course, I love the facilities and everything about it. It\u2019s genuinely a bit of a privilege to play it. I think it\u2019s a really special place.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Canter started the day four shots behind the trio of Oliver Bekker and Darren Fichardt of South Africa and Jeff Winther of Denmark, who held the overnight lead at 6-under. He produced four birdies, an eagle at the par-4 6th and a bogey at the par-4 17th to move to the top of the leaderboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I was in between clubs (on the 6th),” said Canter. “Ended up going with a slightly shorter one, just hoped it jumped out of the rough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“It came out well and, to be honest, it looked like it might be a bit long but one bounce, two bounce and it disappeared. Obviously delighted for that to go in for eagle, pretty unexpected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“It’s such a long week but to play well and compete you need things to go your way and that was definitely a great break. Hopefully I will have good memories of playing that hole over the weekend.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
