IRISH OPEN
MAYNOOTH, IRELAND
Dutch golfer Joost Luiten will take a one-shot lead into the final round at the Irish Open on Sunday with a chance at his for a second victory this month.
Luiten moved to 13 under par and one ahead of Pablo Larrazabal of Spain after both players shot bogey-free 6-under 66s at Carton House on Saturday.
Luiten won the Lyoness Open in Austria this month for the second European Tour title of his seven-year pro career.
“I have been playing very well the last two tournaments as I was also 10th in the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth after my win in Austria,” he said. “So tomorrow I will try to do the same, and if so, hopefully it may be good enough to win the trophy. It’s all a matter of staying patient.”
Even though major winners Rory McIlroy, Padraig Harrington, Graeme McDowell and Darren Clarke failed to make the halfway cut, Luiten said there will be no less pressure today.
