ELEVEN YEARS AFTER becoming the youngest winner of the BMW PGA Championship, Italy’s Matteo Manassero will take a three-shot lead into the final round at Wentworth.
Padraig Harrington is a shot ahead of Lowry on eight-under after a superb 66 today that featured six birdies and no bogeys. He closed strongly with birdies on 17 and 18. Advertisement He will play alongside Manassero and Horschel in tomorrow’s final round, teeing off at 12.05pm.Manassero’s play-off win in 2013 looked set to make him the next star of European golf, but he lost his way chasing extra distance and had slumped to 1,805th in the world rankings before winning on the developmental Alps Tour three years ago.
“To be a young phenom and then lose your game and go play the Alps Tour, the character you need to do that is amazing to see. He’s such a nice guy, level-headed and it’s good to see him back to where he belongs.” “I’m basically a resident at Wentworth now, building a house here. I love it here. It would be amazing to get my name on the trophy again.”
