Jesper Svensson Leads Open de France After Round Three

Swedish golfer Jesper Svensson leads the Open de France after shooting a third-round score of 67, putting him at 13 under par, just one stroke ahead of Denmark's Thorbjørn Olesen and England's Sam Bairstow. Svensson had a strong start with four birdies in the first six holes but bogeyed the 17th, displaying overall consistency by hitting 16 out of 18 greens in regulation. Olesen also posted a 67 with four birdies, while Bairstow made an impressive chip-in eagle on the 14th, finishing with a 65. Dan Bradbury and Joe Dean are tied for fourth, two strokes behind Svensson. The final round promises to be competitive with several players close behind, including 16-year-old Lev Grinberg, who despite a triple bogey, remains in the tournament. Svensson remains optimistic about his chances, stating, 'I hit the ball really well all day.'
