Schott battles for the lead on Moving Day at the DP World Tour in Bahrain
Freddy Schott fought for the lead on day three of the DP World Tour in Bahrain ahead of the final day. With a flawless front nine and four birdies, he early took the lead from leader Calum Hill. Hill had quickly lost his two-stroke advantage after three bogeys and only one birdie on the first six holes. Schott first leveled with birdies on holes 3 and 5 and extended his lead with further success on holes 8 and 9 through precise shots and safe putts.
‘What a shot. What a cracking shot! That is superb!’

On holes 12 and 13, he had to accept bogeys. Tied again with Hill, both made birdies on the 14th to reach a temporary overall score of -15. Calum Hill regained the lead with another birdie on 15 while Schott could no longer mount a decisive attack and recorded an unfortunate bogey on 18. Thus, Hill heads into the final day with a two-stroke lead (-16) over Schott (-14).
After the round, the German said: ‘I’m a bit disappointed that it turned into a three-putt on the last hole, but it was a good day. We just do what we’ve done so far. I thought it might be a matter of two days to catch him (Hill). He had some trouble on the first holes and suddenly we were tied. I am still following the plan to catch him tomorrow and look forward to it. It would be great if that
