And we have been so impressed with Jesper Svensson once again,
he's ball striking brilliant, but also he's putting and that is a birdie for him at the first.
Playing with Dietrich, this was his third in two, the par five third.
Still looking for his first win on the DP World Tour and that possibly could be the start of it.
10 under.
Some 60 yards.
This is just a short while ago.
Jodine seconded to number six.
Just a short par four.
So nothing more than a three-wood and a wedge and a little bit of backspin.
And that is just a beautiful shot from Jodine.
Just moments ago, Svensson at the third as well.
This to move to 11 under par and leave Dan Bradbury and Thomas Dietrich.
He's playing partners by a stroke.
Now that might well yield a birdie and get him back on track.
I'm loving the shirt.
Live now to the action and Svensson on the fourth tee.
Out with the driver.
And as you saw in that update, beautiful start.
Two under through the first three.
400.
Just trying to hold this off, trying to play the correct shot.
Just left of it, slide it towards the right hand flag.
So just wipe across a little.
Excellent.
That's for three birdies in the first four holes.
What a season this man's having.
But the fifth told me on Olison.
To get looking for his first birdie of the day and getting it well done.
One under through five holes.
Oh, what a start by Jesper Svensson.
Three birdies in the first four holes.
As the Swede takes an early two-shot lead here at Le Golfe Nationale.
Second over the water to semi-island green.
The 15th.
One of the terrifying shots in this closing stretch.
Oh, no.
Oh, oh, no.
Hang on.
Oh, he's good.
He's good.
Now, do you get the old parter out and give it a whirl through there?
Or do you chip that?
Well, this is.
My goodness me now.
Yeah, as I thought.
He would play this.
That's pretty good.
In all honesty, that's not easy because the club is going to bounce.
And look what's waiting in the other side.
Chipping back.
It's going downhill towards water.
I take my hat off to him there.
Grinberg played here at the night for his third shot.
So he's got this to get to nine under.
And makes it.
Brilliant stuff.
32 the front nine.
Four under.
Out of the rough, but he needs to be so precise where he lands his rocket.
Bye.
That takes talent, you know, to hit that high from 74 yards.
That is a clever and a great shot.
Yeah.
So Svensson to maintain his two shot advantage.
The Americans wondering what a dunny door is.
I think it's a portal in America.
There we go.
Or a port-a-party.
Oh, well done, Matthew Jordan.
He would have scrappy up that hole.
Really, that was a chip in for a birdie four.
And that's.
Yeah, it's a lovely stroke as well from Bairstow.
This for a birdie birdie start to the back nine for another Yorkshireman, Sam Bairstow.
What a rookie season he's enjoying.
Yes, nicely done.
So Bairstow to nine under par comes into the week.
55 on the rankings projected 44 where he stands right now.
Well done.
Nicely hold.
Joe Dean birdies the 13th one under for this back nine.
He moves up into a tie for second.
A little slider down the hill after an aggressive to say the least tee shot.
Yeah, that's better.
That's good.
So second birdie of the day.
Double figures in time for second.
Well, this is Gavin Green at the par 5 14th on the bank.
Two shots to here and over three shots in lovely.
Just what I meant to do.
How cool is this really look?
He's trying to play a little lop shot to the whole side.
Just slightly over hits it.
Just a wedge from here.
And if you can get it between Svensson's ball on the flag.
Job well done.
We'll have three ducks in a row.
Oh, go on.
I think that is a two and a half, isn't it?
Sam Bairstow short of the par 5 14th green.
Good angle here.
That's got a chance.
Oh in.
It is an eagle three for Sam Bairstow.
Look here at Joe Dean.
He's just come off back to back birdies 13 and 14.
Second shot into this tough hole across the water.
Safely aboard.
Good man.
Pin position has caused some problems today.
You shouldn't have anything to do with this flag today.
Out of the rough anyway.
Spinach type rough.
Oh, hello.
Oh, my goodness me.
Well, that is a massive break because there's no way on earth was he ever aiming there.
I mean, 30 feet past, as Wayne said, would have been absolutely fine and left.
Now take advantage of it out of his right.
Incredible, incredible.
It was almost guaranteed to be a three, wasn't it?
The second it just crawled over the water by inches.
Oh, that is, I say, it's a six net three.
It's the modern player, isn't he?
Svensson very athletic move through the ball up to the green and Ollison for birdie to
get alongside Dean and Bairstow in a share of third place.
Oh, that'll do nicely for Torbjörn Ollis.
This was the hole he wrapped up his singles match against Jordan Spieth on back of the
2018 Ryder Cup to earn his point for the team.
And he does.
So he moves to 12 under making sure Svensson doesn't get too far out ahead.
Bairstow here at the 15th.
There's a good chance here to get within two.
Oh, and he's got it as well.
Nice run.
Five under for this back nine.
You can Ollison second to the 17th pin on that right hand side.
Maybe going a little bit left.
Is it that body language a lot left?
15 feet left.
That's a good shot that from Ollison.
We had a great shot in here.
Little left to right slider.
Good chance to pick one up on a tough hole.
There you go.
I told you.
Like a boxer that's been knocked out.
He's up for the rematch now and he wants revenge on these two holes.
It's a problem.
I'll ask for yes for Svensson.
Just the one blemish on the card that came at 17 today and a 67 on Saturday.
Here at Le Golfe Nationale gives him a one shot advantage over Sam Bairstow
and Torbjörn Ollison looking for a second win of his rookie season.
Yes, but 67 for your Saturday's work here.
The Gulf National give us an evaluation of your day out there.
It was a test of patience out there today.
I hit the ball really well all day.
I thought and a lot of good good looks.
Hit a lot of good putts.
It was a good day, but definitely a test of patience.
There was a lot of putts I just snuck past.
Hopefully, it'll drop tomorrow.
How pleased with your approach play especially?
I think you hit 16 out of 18 greens.
Yeah.
Like I said, it was a lot of looks for birdie.
I mean, it's kept rolling the ball well.
Like I said, hopefully, they'll drop eventually.
Won in Singapore earlier this year.
What can you learn from your win there that you can take into tomorrow's round?
Singapore was a great week.
So far, it's been a great week as well.
All you want to do is have a chance tomorrow on 18.
That's what I want to try and keep playing for.
You're going to have a great chance to win number two.
Good luck tomorrow, Jesper.
Thank you.
