Day three digest: 2021 Omega European Masters

Everything you need to know from day three at Crans-sur-Sierre Golf Club.

Amateur Pietro Bovari enjoyed a day that will live long in the memory, while Richard McEvoy was in a class of his own on day three of the Omega European Masters.

Here is everything you need to know from Saturday at Crans-sur-Sierre Golf Club.

-10 leads once again

When James Morrison shot a 60 on Thursday to set the new course record here, he led the tournament on ten under par. Two days and 36 holes later, those on ten under are the men to catch still. This time it is Renato Paratore and Sean Crocker at the summit after they shot contrasting rounds of 69 and 64 respectively on Saturday.

Amateur Bovari's amazing ace

Saturday is a day Italian amateur Pietro Bovari won't forget in a hurry. After becoming one of two amateurs to make the cut on Friday, things got even better for Bovari as he made a spectacular hole-in-one at the 13th with an 8 iron. His prize for getting that ace is an OMEGA Seamaster Aqua Terra 150M. Well done Pietro.

Seventh heaven

Here is a closer look at one of the most stunning golf holes in the world - the seventh at Crans-sur-Sierre Golf Club.

Eagle for Siem

Not only is the seventh picturesque, it also provides the players with a great eagle chance - and Marcel Siem was one of many who took full advantage. He left himself around 35 feet for an eagle after driving the green and duly drained his lengthy putt to move to nine under and grab a share of the lead as the overnight frontrunners moved backwards early on Saturday. But his stay at the summit would not last very long, and he finished the day three back on seven under.

McEvoy's clean card

Only one player managed to maintain a spotless card in challenging conditions on day three - and that man was Richard McEvoy. His 68 - which contained two birdies - may not stand out, but managing to stay bogey free was some achievement.
