Scotland’s Marc Warren yesterday produced one of the best rounds of his career to surge into contention for the inaugural Made in Denmark event.
Warren, who won the last of his two European Tour titles in 2007, defied gusting winds to card a superb 66 at Himmerland Golf Resort to set the clubhouse target on six under par.
He was later joined on that mark by overnight leader Bradley Dredge, who had to wait until a medical emergency was dealt with on the 18th hole before being able to finish his round of 73.
A male member of the television crew suffered a suspected heart attack and received treatment from on-site staff before being taken to hospital.
Dredge had been four shots clear at the halfway stage but struggled in the conditions and was three over par for the day before holing from 20 feet for birdie on the 17th to ensure he shared the lead.
Warren, who had eight birdies and three bogeys, said: “Even driving here we could see the wind was a lot stronger than the first two days so we knew it was going to be a battle today.
"Bradley was well ahead of me and the rest of the field and to be honest I was hoping it was going to be tougher because if it was easier he could maybe have the chance to pull away.
“I am absolutely delighted. I think 66 today, I probably couldn't have hoped for that before I started. I felt a wee bit of out of sync the first couple of holes, then hit a really nice second shot into the third and from then on just played really solid golf. A lot of imagination was needed today and I enjoy that style of golf.”
