BMW International Open - Day three digest

Luiten leapt ahead, we had another ace and distance was the order of the day on both the tee box and the green on day three of the BMW International Open.

Here is everything you need to know from Saturday at Golfclub München Eichenried.

Luiten in the driving seat

Joost Luiten matched his lowest round of the season to take a three-shot lead into the final day. The Dutchman was bogey-free in carding a 65 that moved him to 14 under and it will be a Dutch double in the final round on Sunday, with countryman Daan Huizing his nearest challenger after a 66. Kiwi Daniel Hillier, South African Thriston Lawrence and Ryder Cup vice captain Edoardo Molinari were then at ten under. "It would mean a lot to me to win but that's not just me, that's everybody," said Luiten. "We've got another 18 holes here and I need to keep my head cool, hit some shots like I did today and we'll see what happens. I'll try to play shot by shot like I did today."

Three days, three aces

I think we're all getting a sense of déja vu. On day one, Takumi Kanaya made an ace. On day two it was Luiten's turn. And on day three Connor Syme holed a five iron from 220 yards at the second to make it a hat-trick of perfect shots. This is the second consecutive week and fourth time this season we have had three holes-in-one at the same tournament, taking the season's tally to 27 from as many events. Can anyone complete the set on Sunday?

Luiten hungry for another

Luiten's ace on Friday was his seventh on the DP World Tour and on Saturday he was inches from making it eight.

Hillier hits it hard

Hiller's average length off the tee this season is a very respectable 305.19 yards but at the ninth on Saturday he opened up his shoulders and sent one a colossal 354 yards. What a hit.

Bob makes a monster

From distance with the driver to distance with the putter. Just the 67 feet from Bob MacIntyre.
