In a spectacular display of resilience and skill, Sweden's Alex Noren stormed to the top of the BMW PGA Championship leaderboard with a scintillating back-nine performance on the famed West Course at Wentworth.
Noren's third-round 66, catapulting him to 13 under par, was a tale of two halves. After a steady start, the Swede caught fire after the turn, carding five birdies in a stunning seven-hole stretch to overtake France's Adrien Saddier.
Saddier's Strong Hold Slips
Overnight leader Adrien Saddier had looked in commanding form for much of the day, maintaining his advantage with a composed display. However, a costly bogey on the 17th hole proved decisive, dropping him to 12 under and handing the initiative to the charging Noren.
The stage is now set for a gripping final-day battle at the European tour's flagship event, with a host of major champions and Ryder Cup stars lurking just behind the leading pair.
Packed Leaderboard Promises Sunday Drama
The chasing pack is packed with quality, ensuring no easy ride for the leaders. The prospect of a dramatic Sunday showdown in the Surrey sunshine is now a certainty, with one of the most prestigious titles in European golf on the line.
