DP World Tour: Freddy Schott’s Second Eagle of the Week
Following an excellent round on Thursday, Freddy Schott aimed to confirm his performance on Friday and secure a strong position for the weekend. He got off to a great start with a birdie on hole 1.

He added a third birdie on hole 9 for three under on the front nine. On the back nine, he birdied hole 13 and then recorded his second eagle of the week on hole 14 with two perfect shots and a putt of nearly 7 meters. Although he played his first bogey of the day on hole 15, and another bogey on the final hole, a late birdie on 17 brought his final score to five under par, securing second place heading into the weekend.
Nicolai Von Dellingshausen could not quite match his previous day’s performance, finishing one under par and dropping to 14th.

However, two poor shots on hole 3 and a short missed putt on hole 7 resulted in two bogeys to close his round. Still, with a total score of seven under par, he remains within striking distance and just one stroke behind the group tied for fourth place.
