Jesper, not Adam, Svensson leads Czech Masters....full leaderboard

 DP World Tour : D+D REAL Czech MastersLeaderboard

I often write about Canadian Adam Svensson, but this week it is Jesper Svensson who held a one-shot lead with one round remaining in the D+D REAL Czech Masters after shooting 68 on a weather-affected Saturday.

Jesper Svensson navigates storms to hold third-round lead in Prague

Storms in Prague forced a three-hour delay during the third afternoon but Svensson remained unflappable, completing a bogey-free 68 to reach -16 

Second-round leader David Ravetto was one shot behind after a 70 -15 while English trio Andrew Johnston (70), Brandon Robinson Thompson (69) and Ross Fisher (68) shared third place -14, with France’s Adrien Saddier (67)

“It’s just great to be in a good position for tomorrow,” he said.

“I didn’t really think about it but managed to stay away from bogeys today, again struck the ball nicely but hopefully the putter’s a bit hotter tomorrow.”

Asked about the prospect of a second DP World Tour win, following March’s Porsche Singapore Classic, he said: “It would be something else. There is still a lot of golf to be played but yeah, that would be nice.”

Robin Williams became the third player this week, after Ravetto and Johnston on Friday, to shoot 63 – the best score seen at the Kyle Phillips-designed course since it opened in 2020.

The South African made seven birdies, adding an eagle courtesy of a 27-foot putt at the par-five ninth.

He was in a four-way tie on -13 under with Richie Ramsay, Francesco Laporta and Andy Sullivan.
