Play has just wrapped up at the Thailand Golf Championship, and what a difference a day makes.
First the weather turned overcast and windy and Lee Westwood who was unconscious with opening rounds of 60,64 had to battle all day long to post a +1,73, -19 meanwhile his playing partner Charl Schwartzel birdied his first 4 holes, and despite his lone bogey at the last finished with a -6 66 -15, a 7 shot swing to cut the seemingly insurmountable 11 shot overnight lead to 4, setting up what will now be a fascinating final round.
Lee made bogey at the 2nd hole, his first of the tournament, he ended up with 4 on the day but in reality he made a whack of par savers to get round in +1. Proof again if we need it how difficult playing with a huge lead always seems to be. Time and time again no matter what they say about playing the same game, or taking it a hole at a time, golfers can't help but letting their psychological guard down with a big lead, then it becomes a struggle, like today.
Charl meanwhile was out in 32 to Lee's 37 and he ended up with 7 birdies on his day.
