The Seychelles after firing a nine-under 59
were difficult, nine-underpar in this wind is a great score. I just tried to take one shot at a time, and that worked. I wasn’t thinking about my score as I went around.
“I hope tomorrow will be special. I’m very happy to be in this position, I’ve not been here for a long time. It would be a very happy Christmas if I can do it tomorrow.” The 2006 USA Ryder Cup Captain Lehman carded a two-under-par round of 66, birdieing the last hole to reduce the gap to five strokes.
“It was a little breezy out there today,” said Lehman. “The toughest holes were the longest into the wind. The tricky holes are really tricky, but you have chances and opportunities out there. You have to be quite clever with the way you play out there, and other holes are grinders where you have to play your rear-end off to make par.”
Two-time Senior Major winner Roger Chapman eagled the 18th hole to take sole ownership of third place after matching Lehman’s two-under-par round.
At the conclusion of today’s final round, in addition to presentation of the MCB Tour Championship – Seychelles trophy, Paul Broadhurst will receive the John Jacobs Trophy for topping the Staysure Tour Order of Merit.
The Indian Ocean Swing trophy will also be presented to the player who earned the most prize money at the final two events of the 2018 season.
