Alvaro Quiros is having a rollercoaster round 3, with 3 bogey's, 3 birdies and an eagle to stand at -2 thru 12 -14 total and a 4 shot lead over Luke Donald -6 thru 16, -10 total along with Robert Rock -3 thru 13 and Peter Hanson -2 thru 13.
Quiros for all his prodigious length has displayed a silky touch all week on these large sloping greens on the Earth course, and today he has holed putt after putt.
Luke Donald, who else, has moved right up the board after spending some time in the TV studio after round 2, examining his swing and deducing he had a little too much leg action and was getting ahead of himself. He has been much more accurate off the tee and has displayed the ironplay and short game that have made him famous.
His pursuer for the money title Rory McIlroy really looked like he wasn't well on the front nine, going out in 39 with a bogey and a double, however he has made birdie now at 11 and 12 to get back to -6, but unless he does something special on the last 4 holes he may have blown his chances.
Robert Rock in lime green, has been solid as has big Peter Hanson who is striking the ball beautifully, but hasn't made many putts to move closer to Quiros.
Martin Kaymer had the round of the morning -8 64 to move up to a T9 at -8 and Louis Oosthuizen is now at -5 thru 16, -10 T2.
England's Simon Dyson has played the last 2 rounds by himself because of YE Yang's withdrawal was around in -3 69, and was catching up with the groundscrew who were working the holes ahead of him ! He was around in 2 hours and 25 minutes.
