MUNICH — Haotong Li made eagle on the same hole for the third day running as he opened up a three-shot lead at the BMW International Open on Saturday ahead of the final round.
Starting the day ahead by one stroke, Li was 5 under for the day and sits 20 under for the tournament. He was nearly further ahead but for a bogey on the 18th.
“It’s actually a lot (more) comfortable than I thought. Quite surprised,” Li said. “It’s just another perfect day for me.”
Li completed the par-5 sixth at Golfclub München Eichenried in three shots on Thursday and Friday, but Saturday was the pick of the bunch as he chipped in from 21 yards out.
