Hero Open - Day three digest
By
Everything you need to know from Moving Day at Fairmont St Andrews.
Graeme enjoyed a bumper pay day after firing a hole-in-one while Sean stretched his lead on day three of the 2022 Hero Open.
Here is everything you need to know from Moving Day at Fairmont St Andrews.
Storm lands amazing ace and £20,000 prize
Graeme Storm holed his tee-shot at the difficult par-three 17th from 189 yards to bag himself the hole-in-one prize of £20,000. Well done, Graeme.
Crocker's tough decision pays off
Sean Crocker was two shots clear at the top of the leaderboard when he arrived at the 13th, but an errant tee-shot there meant he had thick rough to deal with. He sent his second shot into yet more thick stuff close to a wall and thought long and hard about his next move. After deciding to take a drop, he went on to make a double bogey, limiting the damage to two shots. And that proved to be an excellent call as he takes a two-shot lead over nearest challenger Jens Dantorp into the final round. He said: "I think we made the right decision by taking the drop and trying to keep the score down as much as we could."
Closing eagle key for Crocker
Crocker is searching for his first DP World Tour title and remains on course for a wire-to-wire victory. He owes his two-shot advantage to this breathtaking chip-in eagle at the last, which handed him the outright lead for the third day in a row...
Dubuisson saves his best for last
After making four birdies and a single bogey in his first 17 holes, Victor Dubuisson finished with a flourish. He reached the 18th green in two before rolling in his eagle putt from 13 feet to head into the clubhouse on 14 under par, just four shots off the lead held by Crocker.
