Syme ‘Buzzing’ After He Birdies The Last To Take Two Shot Lead Into KLM Open Final Round

1 month ago by Comments Off on Syme ‘Buzzing’ After He Birdies The Last To Take Two Shot Lead Into KLM Open Final Round

Scot Connor Syme was buzzing after he brilliantly birdied the last at near 8.30pm local Dutch time to take a two shot lead into the final round of the weather interrupted KLM Open.

Syme competing in his 182nd DP World Tour event signed for a five-under 66, caped by a third hole eagle to move to 10-under as he seeks a long overdue maiden Tour victory.

 

Syme had missed the final green, the par-5 18th and with his third shot finding a bunker but then sent his third to some 15=feet left of the flagstick and then calmly played what was the final shot of the day for a birdie 4 moments after Sweden’s Joaquim Lagergren also holed out for birdie in his round of a level par 71 to be back on eight-under.

Lagargren had battled strong second round winds to lead heading into day three but Syme felt right at home on ‘Moving Day’ not only holing a 39-footer for eagle at three but also grabbing birdies at his 11th, 17th and then for a third day running holing out for birdie at 18.

“So, so good,” Syme said of his round. “Buzzing with that.

“Obviously a bonus to finish with a couple (of birdies) towards the end but overall really, really pleased.

Syme has previously held the 54-hole lead on three previous occasions in his DP World Tour career and a maiden Tour win will be widely received and a long overdue reward.

“Obviously there’s a bit of a gap at the moment for me and Joakim,” he said.

“But with the weather tomorrow it can change so much, so quickly, so I’m just trying to do the best I can on every shot. I know that’s so cliche but that’s my goal.

“I’ve been in this situation a few times now, which have all been so different. It’s really tough to win out here, I’ve obviously given myself a good position a few times and tomorrow’s another great opportunity.

“I would love to do it, obviously, hopefully I can play my game tomorrow and I can do it. Overall I think that’s thinking too far ahead, I’ll just try to play one shot at a time and get that mindset from the start, and what will be will be.”

Wishing you well Connor
