The third day of the 2015 Dubai Duty Free Irish Open came to a close on Saturday, with Soren Kjeldsen sitting atop the leaderboard.
Maximilian Kieffer and Rafa Cabrera-Bello are tied for second and two strokes back. Tyrrell Hatton, Bernd Wiesberger and Richie Ramsay round out the top six. Below is a recap of the third day's events.
What They're Saying
Soren Kjeldsen (via BBC): "I'll focus on the first 16 holes because I played beautifully and didn't really do much wrong on the last two, so I feel pretty good. I hit a bad tee-shot at 17, but played the rest of the hole really well. And then on 18 I thought I played it beautifully, but only made a six. It was so windy. It's too early to think about that [winning], but I'm very pleased to be in the position I am in."
Tyrrell Hatton: "It was quite difficult with the wind being opposite to the previous two days. It wasn't the best of starts for me, but I thought I fought back quite well and I'm looking forward to tomorrow."
Padraig Harrington (via Irish Times): "I was positive going out. I knew I wasn't out of it, but I didn't create momentum, didn't play well, didn't hole putts. My short game was not tight enough. I dropped five shots based on short game yesterday, and probably the same today. I just wasn't up to it. I tried my hardest."
