BMW International Open: day three digest

Bernd Wiesberger and Michael Hollick led a congested leaderboard, Brad Dalke opened up about his renewed love for golf and Frederic Lacroix was playing darts.

Here is everything you need to know after Moving Day at Golfclub München Eichenried.

Congested leaderboard in Munich

Bernd Wiesberger and Michael Hollick shared the third-round lead following tricky conditions at Golfclub München Eichenried. Six players shared the lead over the course of Moving Day, but it was the Austrian and South African who nudged away from the pack thanks to their respective 67 and 69 to reach 13 under par. Seventeen players are within five shots of the leading duo for what looks to be a grandstand finish on Sunday. Wiesberger said: It would be really nice to add my name to that trophy. But, again, great leaderboard this week and very tight leaderboard, so needs all focus tomorrow and a lot of good shots. And that's what I'm trying to focus first on." Hollick added: "It's awesome. I'm doing something I never thought I was going to have the chance to do. Thirty-nine years old, I'm living my dream. Can't ask for much more than that, to be honest."

Brad Dalke reignites love for golf

Brad Dalke spoke to Josh Antmann about how creating content on YouTube helped him rediscover his love for the game. The American made the weekend on his DP World Tour debut in Munich.

Locals shine on home soil

Thomas Rosenmueller was the star of Saturday, carding the lowest round with a seven-under-par 65. He mixed an eagle, seven birdies and two dropped shots to catapult from the cut line to a tie for fourth at 11 under, two shots off the leading pair. He said: "I don't really have any expectations, I obviously made the cut on the number late yesterday. It's my mum's birthday today so I was trying to give her a birthday present. It's all about moving up and moving in the right direction and I thought I did a good job."

German amateur Finn Kölle continued to impress on his DP World Tour debut, signing for a level-par 72 for a share of 20th place. The 21-year-old is six off the pace at seven under.

Players feeling chipper

There were plenty of hole-outs furing the third round, with two-time winner Casey Jarvis and Oihan Guillamoundeguy among those to benefit towards the top of the leaderboard.

Lacroix throwing darts

The Frenchman was not messing around with his irons on Moving Day, with his tee-shot at the par-three 12th almost finding the hole.

At the 15th, he was even closer to a hole-out with this brilliant approach for a tap-in birdie.
