Hero Open Round 3 results

On the other hand, we have Forrest who finished in the top with a 10-under-62 score, which came with six back-to-back birdies, along with four more towards the end. As Round 3 came to an end, both Forrest and Hill were 18 under par and at leading the leaderboard. While Hill did have two bogeys stall his rhythm, he recovered soon with two birdies. Including Law, we have three Scottish golfers ranked in the top five going into Round 4.

While Law had no bogey, he is tied at fourth place with Bjerregaard (six-under-66). “It was one of those days, with a bogey start as well and you’re thinking it’s not an ideal start,” Forrest said. “The first couple of days I played nicely but couldn’t get anything going and didn’t really make a putt. Today I changed my putting grip and I made pretty much everything. I think Lucas’ putter from yesterday might have rubbed off on me a little bit!”.
