Day three digest: 2021 Cazoo Classic

Everything you need to know from Moving Day in Kent.

London Golf Club

Rasmus set records tumbling, the EDGA was back in town, luck was going both ways and Bjerregaard had a birthday on day three of the 2021 Cazoo Classic.

Here is everything you need to know from Saturday at London Golf Club.

Højgaard goes low to hit the heights

Rasmus Højgaard has already achieved plenty in his short European Tour career since becoming the first player born in the 21st century to graduate from the Qualifying School in 2019. The Dane became the third youngest winner in Tour history in just his fifth event at the 2020 AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open and followed that up with another win at the 2020 ISPS Handa UK Championship. On Saturday he carded a 62 that was not only a course record but his own lowest round to par as he moved to 14 under to take a three shot lead into the final day. "I think if you drive the ball well here you can shoot a good score so that’s the main focus tomorrow," he said. "If you get it on the fairway you just take it from there but it’s pretty straightforward when you’re in the fairway, so I think that will be the key, to drive it well."

Battle for Duabi set to go to the wire

Adem Wahbi carded an excellent 74 to put himself in pole position to claim a place at the season ending EDGA Dubai Finale. The fourth event of the 2021 EDGA European Tour season was taking place at London Golf Club, with eight players from the European Disabled Golf Association battling it out for four places in the season ending spectacular. England's Kipp Popert - who has already earned his spot at Jumeirah Golf Estates thanks to last week's win in Scotland - was two shots back, one ahead of American Chris Biggins and three clear of Canada's Kurtis Barkley. It's all to play for.

Talk about plugged.......

Ben Evans himself would admit this isn't the best bunker shot he's ever hit in his life but no shot deserves to end up here. Nightmarish.

From the ridiculous.........

Calum Hill got an outrageous bit of luck when he hit the flag after a clumsy effort around the fifth green and made his par.

........to the sublime

He hit the flag again on the 13th but there was no luck involved this time for his birdie. What a shot.

Birthday bumps for Bjerregaard

Lucas Bjerregaard celebrated his 30th birthday on Saturday and if his recent form is anything to go by, his 30s may be very good to him. It may not have been the best couple of years for the Dane since he downed Tiger Woods at the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play in 2019 but he secured a top ten last week and has carded rounds of 67-71-72 in Kent. "It doesn't feel a lot different from 29, I must admit," he said. "It's good. I'm enjoying it here and looking forward to going home tomorrow and celebrating with family and friends." Happy birthday Lucas!
