Christiaan Bezuidenhout leads by 5 at Valderrama
[Sunday, June 30, 2019 10:18:56]Christiaan Bezuidenhout will take a five shot lead over local hero Jon Rahm into the final round of the Estrella Damm N.A. Andalucía Masters hosted by the Sergio Garcia Foundation as he looks for a first European Tour victory at Real Club Valderrama.
Bezuidenhout has two runner up finishes on the European Tour and arrived in Spain off the back of claiming third place at last week's BMW International Open.
"Going into Sunday with a five shot lead is definitely nice," he said. "I’ll just keep playing my game and see how I finish up.
"Rahm is a great player, he’s top 15 in the world and he’s a legend in Spain so it will be quite an experience. I haven’t played with him yet so I’m looking forward to the challenge.
"It wasn't my best ball striking yesterday. I made some great saves on the turn through seven to nine, I got all three up-and-down there which kept the momentum going.
"I birdied ten which settled it for me a little bit and I made another great save on 11. The score that I shot I'm really pleased with."
