Volvo China Open: Day three digest

Adrian Otaegui goes on a birdie roll to surge to the top, Bernd Wiesberger has a very lucky break and Bowen Chai uses his local knowledge to perfection.

Everything you need to know from Moving Day at Shanghai Enhance Anting Golf Club.

Otaegui sparkles on Moving Day to sit at the summit

Otaegui started round three sitting five shots adrift over overnight leaders Wiesberger and Shaun Norris, but he produced a brilliant nine-under-par 62 to set the clubhouse target of 16 under. Wiesberger then bogeyed the 15th before parring his way home to sit one off the pace. "Very, very happy with the way I finished, the way I stayed patient so, yeah, very, very happy," Otaegui said. "You know how golf is. Every day is different. My game's good, I've been playing good and I've been putting well. I'm confident, so all I want to do is keep going, keep doing the same that I'm doing and give myself a chance for tomorrow."

Otaegui's birdie blitz

The Emirati surged into contention thanks to a brilliant birdie blitz around the turn in Shanghai. Otaegui opened Saturday's round with a birdie before adding an eagle two at the fourth, only to hand a shot back at the next. However, he made his move from seventh, where he completed a hat-trick to finish the front nine in 30. Otaegui's momentum continued with a huge putt at the tenth before a stunning approach into the 11th brought his fifth gain in a row.

Emirati dives into chips

Otaegui did not stop there, holing out with this second at the par-three 16th to climb up to 15 under.

Wiesberger's lucky break

Early leader Wiesberger was an old divot away from finding the water with his tee-shot at the eighth, and he took full advantage of his fortunate situation. With his back foot just a few millimetres from the hazard and the pin on the short side of the green with a bunker in between, the Austrian would have been satisfied with a par. However, he produced a sensational chip shot before rolling in the unlikeliest of birdies to reach 16 under.

Bowen's on fire

Bowen Chai was one of nine Chinese players to make the cut on home soil this weekend, and the 20-year-old showed off his vast knowledge of his home course with this superb approach at the fifth.
