The Husqvarna British Masters at The Belfry has been significantly affected by weather conditions over the opening days, with play suspended multiple times including late into Saturday evening at 7:56pm due to darkness.
Marco Penge, who held the lead after 36 holes, maintained his position atop the leaderboard after completing five holes of his third round before play was halted for the day. He sits at 11 under par and shares the lead with Daniel Hillier, who had also played five holes of his third round when darkness fell. Tom McKibbin trails by one stroke at 10 under after completing six holes, with two birdies already in his round. McKibbin is competing in the event after the cancellation of LIV Golf’s Team Championship freed up his schedule.
Fabrizio Zanotti and Shaun Norris occupy positions further back on the leaderboard, sitting two strokes behind the leaders. Zanotti and Norris have significant portions of their third rounds remaining, with 12 and 13 holes left to play respectively. Jacob Skov Olesen has also moved into contention following three birdies in his opening seven holes, positioning himself within three strokes of the lead.
The field heading into Sunday’s finale is tightly bunched, with just five strokes separating 19 competitors. Play will resume at 7am local time on Sunday, with the final round to be conducted without a redraw. The round will continue in threeballs format using a two-tee start system. Coverage of the conclusion begins at 10am on Sky Sports Golf.
