Tyrrell Hatton’s roller coaster, Julien Guerrier 21st (DPWT)

McIlroy too short, Guerrier finishes well

Laurie Canter is alone 3rd (-13). Niklas Norgaard and Rory McIlroy follow in 4th place (-12). The Northern Irishman, victorious at the Hero Dubai Desert Classic 2024, posted a round of 66 (seven birdies, one bogey) which was nonetheless insufficient to get back into the race. Best Frenchman, Julien Guerrier, who returned a card of 70 (one eagle, three birdies, three bogeys), ranks 21st (-5). Back on the European circuit after a difficult year, marked by depression, Mike Lorenzo-Vera ended his week with a score of 74 (four birdies, four bogeys, one double), in 31st position (-3).
