Just the two for me this week. Peter Hanson has a very good record here and played well for three rounds at Wentworth. And taken a flyer on Fitzpatrick that he might turn the corner soon. A top ten finish in The Masters looks pretty good against this lot.

Am on Noren and Westwood for this. Good luck peeps.

moving day for Henrik....tother way..thankfully.

t pieters withdraws after 8 holes with an injured wrist.

Have a nice book as I am green the field for €63 and Green on Ross Fisher for €69. Been waiting a long time to see how Matt Fitzpatrick will handle a lead, but am not punting him until I see him do the job. Current odds of less than 3/1 a bit skinny for a lad so unproven, but I hope he does it.

any chance of a collapse from m fitzpatrick today, looked very solid so far this week.

wind up today gusts of 25mph

Thank you kindly, Adrian.

It's idyllic once again here in Sweden for the final round of the Nordea Masters. It'll be fascinating to see how our leader Fitzpatrick deals with those gusts, though - the Englishman is off at 1305.


Rea

33s fitz
Level round will do

aftertiming

Final group paired with the local fav should be interesting.

The leading player, not otherwise exempt, who finishes in the top five and ties of the Nordea Masters will qualify for The 2016 Open Championship.

Nicolas Colsaerts 3.7

bloodbath if fitz loses

back to 4 shots

Colsaerts 21

Fair play to you Mattie.An example to all "bankers"LOL

Stress free

Will NOREN come back down to earth

OFF TO SWEDEN this week for the 2017 Nordea Masters from a new venue - Barsebäck Golf & Country Club.

The beautiful Barsebäck Golf & Country Club is in the southern part of Sweden. The venue is vastly experienced in staging this event, most recently in 2009, and this year the Nordea Masters visits Barsebäck for the tenth time.

PREVIOUS WINNERS here in Malmo: (formerly the Scandinavian Masters)

SIR Nick in '92 and Jesper Parnevik 1995, followed by fellow Swede Joakim Haeggman 1997 then the Volvo Scandinavian Masters, BIG Monty (1999 and 2001).
Adam Scott in 2003 Scandic Carlsberg Scandinavian Masters.
Luke Donald shot 16 under in the 2004 Scandinavian Masters by Carlsberg, with Stenson the runner-up.
Marc Warren -10 in 2006 EnterCard Scandinavian Masters and Ricardo Gonzalez -10 in 2009 SAS Masters.

FIVE Swedes have won seven editions since 1991 (Parnevik/Norén twice -  with Peter Hanson 2008 & Richard S. Johnson 2010 at other venues)

Henrik STENSON will attempt to win his home event for the first time, a year on from becoming the first Swede to win the OPEN Championship at Troon.
This is literally a 'home game' - as he has a house here in Malmo. The two-time runner-up has to be a big contender this week - his last three appearances read 5th, 13th & 4th - after his strong finish in Wentworth.

Barseback GC is in south-west Sweden which is around 35 miles from the Danish capital of Copenhagen.

Ireland’s Paul Dunne has been highlighted by Sporting Life as their best bet this week - the selection came within a whisker of his maiden victory when pipped in a play-off by Edoardo Molinari in Morocco - Paul is putting together a really nice season (with finishes of 30th,33,2nd,mc,6,23,mc,42,21,39,29th in HK & 28th) and currently stands 27th on the RtoD. He qualified for the US Open on Monday at Walton Heath which could be a timely boost and admitted earlier in the year that he feels much more the complete article compared to 2016, with all parts of his game coming together more consistently.

LEVY who sits in 13th place, one behind Wee Rory in the RtoD, also qualified for the US Open in 3rd position at Walton Heath. ALL IN ON THE FRENCHIE.

Perhaps the Swedish Golf headlines this week will be Anna Nordqvist (18/1 B365) wining the ShopRite LPGA Classic for the third straight year - her 7 year record at the event reads - Win, Win,3,13,5th,5th & 12th. No Pressure Anna ! well, maybe just from those Korean girls.

Early start in the morning boys

The Welshman Jamie Donaldson leads the way @-3 thru 11 with Henrik only 2 behind thru 8 holes.

HENRIK made only one par thru 9 !

Any good LEADERBOARD ffs

STILL ANYONES TO WIN ......difficult day today in that wind !

Rather epic 18th hole shenanigans for Henrik this

Phoenix Open organisers watching with interest.

Perhaps the Swedish Golf headlines this week will be Anna Nordqvist (18/1 B365) wining the ShopRite LPGA Classic for the third straight year

Anna you good thing

CLOSE CALL WITH ANNA.....



ANOTHER ITALIAN WINNER THIS YEAR: 20yo Renato Paratore - his first European Tour victory and the youngest winner on Tour since fellow Italian Manassero Matteo won the 2013 BMW PGA.

T2 M.Fitzpatrick (Defending champion carded a 68) & C.Wood (needed par on 18th for play-off) @ -10.
T4 @-9 Coetzee & Olesen.
6th @-8 Pavon.

RENATO created history at the 2015 Alstom Open de France by becoming the first player to record the same score – a four – on each of the 18 holes. Paratore has also developed a reputation for being one of the fastest professionals in the world.

Strange goings on with Lagergren.Not so sure his score is correct.

Add to that the main group have been oncourse for an hour ,no score updates.

Hard to prove but the word Fraud springs to mind.

no wonder kaymer admitting he his not good enough for the ryder cup.

You need luck to win and boy did Aiken get his on 12.

Someone tell Aiken it's Saturday.

Holy Scott.....too much Jamieson last nit...64,65....75

OLESEN tia

Huge fairway and Aiken finds the water.Never knew there was water on 18 it's that wide.

what an absolute choking wimp maggot POS Aiken is

Can he shake hands while Waring is on the fairway ?

handed it to waring.

Birdied it 4 times this week Aiken.Looking like an 8 if he plays on.

lucky drop.

Forgot pro's play there own rules.

Deary me.

Crook.

Still no good,hacking it up there...

Lol,BF monkey suspends ,must know Aiken well.

((((((SCANDINAVIAN INVITATION))))))........a change in name (this was previously the Nordea Masters) but the golf course is the same one used last year.

TAKE YOUR PICK FROM...

European Tour suspends OWGR #65 Thorbjørn OLESEN pending the results of his court case in London. Thor’s lawyer released a statement saying that Thor has cooperated with the police. He is charged with sexual assault and violence, the court hearing is on tomorrow Wednesday (unless breaking news comes up).

GO MATTY.....

Matthew Fitzpatrick 9/4
Erik Van Rooyen 8
Alexander Levy 10
Wade Ormsby 12
Joakim Lagergren 16
Henrik Stenson 25

Olesen for trial on 18 September .

I am involved again after having a good win recently on Koepka a few weeks ago. Undid a lot of the profit by backing McIlroy last week and laying European winner. So here I am now just before round 3 and laid Matt Fitz for €600 @ 2.44 at breakfast earlier. Might just sit tight and see what way he plays early on with his lead. Hoping we get a springer before 12.10pm. I welcome any view or advice guys.

i am on fitzpatrick at 9/1 and very happy how he is playing, a lot will depend if the crowd spurs henrik on, be surprised if one of them does not win.

@ Ash..... this is not the real Stenson. He needs a kick in the pants.

Got out of jail card. When Matthew d bogeyed I looked at my bet and was able to cash out for a green €370 the field. Phew. I fancy Keopka tonight but heart wants to see Rory turn it on. Minor bets leave me with a green of €20 on McIlroy and 0.00 the rest.Hope Fitz wins for you Ashley. Keep an eye on Gavin Moynihan. One for the future.

henrik hole in 1, in it now.

Fitzpatrick trying it on .

Fair play Billy.

Well done Billy Foster.

Good to see

bit of karma there for Fitz for trying to cheat the field earlier

Erik Van Rooyen birdies the 72nd hole to beat Matthew Fitzpatrick by 1 shot at the Scandinavian Invitation.
It's Van Rooyen's first European Tour win, and the 150th win all-time by South African players on the European Tour.
