Round 3 is now complete and if you want to watch it tape delayed, and don't want to know what happened don't read this !
Watching Gary Player competing in the Legends at Big Cedar Lodge this weekend it is hard to imagine that he had to go to Arnie way back in the late 50's to get help to be allowed to come and play in America from South Africa; for year's he was referred to as a foreigner at the Masters
Fast forward 55 years to Shanghai, China where Tiger Woods has travelled to put on a one day clinic, while an international field competes next door at the Volvo China Open where there is a Frenchman, an Englishman and 2 Chinese stars atop the leaderboard after 3 rounds
Defending champion Frenchman Alex Levy made 4 early birdies but ended up with E 72 and ended day three in a four-way tie for the lead at Tomson Shanghai Pudong Golf Club, with England’s David Howell and Chinese pair Li Hao-tong and Wu Ashun on -8.
The 19 year old Li, runner-up in last week’s Shenzhen International, and Wu will both seeking to become the first Chinese player to win a European Tour event on home soil.

Sweden’s Magnus A Carlsson had a -7 65 to T5 with England’s Seve Benson, Scot Richie Ramsay and Thailand’s Prom Meesawat on six under.
I can hear Gary Player saying "I told you so" everytime he see's an international field like this and recalls the millions of miles he has flown as one of the first to play golf around the world..
