The Swedish Marcus Kinhult kept his 2 strokes ahead of the leaderboard of the HNA Open in France but at 21 he will have to disregard the pressure and the load of world class players in his pursuit on this last round of the HNA Open of France, third European test of the 2018 Rolex Series.

Kinhult and his game partner of the day Chris Wood returned an identical card of 67 or 4 under par. Both had to fight after their respective double bogey, at hole N ° 2 for Kinhult and at hole N ° 4 for Chris Wood. Kinhult then resumed, walking forward, lining up 5 consecutive birdies from hole N ° 5

The young Swede perfectly negotiated the Albatross traps by playing in the par on the return, to go alone in the lead at 10. Chris Wood, meanwhile, signed 6 birdies and an eagle after his skid in hole 4 and 5.

They will both be chased by 2 of the best players in the world - Justin Thomas, Jon Rahm and Sergio Garcia who hit the ball beautifully today to make a very solid 3 card.

For his debut on the RyderCup course, the Spanish winner of the 2017 Master, aligned 8 birdies between hole 1 and 16 to finish with a bogey on his last hole of the day. He took third place on the leaderboard at -3. He will play, tomorrow, alongside his compatriot Jon Rham.

After a birdie at 17, the world number 5 put in a putt of nearly 6 meters at the last hole signing a card of 68 to replace himself 4 strokes behind the leader at -6.

Justin Thomas, despite a throw-in in the water hazard on 18, saves his par and signs a 69. He joins another American player at -5, Julian Suri.

Mike Lorenzo-Vera, best Frenchman on the eve of the last lap, just outside the top 20 (-1), will play with Ian Poulter at 12:10.
