Schott battles for the lead on the DP World Tour moving day in Bahrain
Freddy Schott fought for the lead on day three of the DP World Tour event in Bahrain. With a flawless first nine holes and four birdies, he took the lead early from front-runner Callum Hill, who quickly lost his two-stroke advantage due to three bogeys and just one birdie on the first six holes. Schott first caught up with birdies on holes 3 and 5, then extended his lead with precise shots and safe putts on the 8th and 9th holes.

Hill regained the lead with another birdie on 15, while Schott could no longer make a decisive attack and recorded another unfortunate bogey on 18. Hill goes into the final day two strokes ahead at -16, with Schott at -14.

I am still following the plan to catch him tomorrow and look forward to it. It would be great if it works out but it
