Robert had to work hard to maintain his top spot at the start of play, carding two bogeys for a third round of +2 over 74 and a total of -9 under;
“Things didn’t go my way today, I fought well until the end.”
“It doesn’t matter where I am on the leaderboard, bottom or top, every point counts.”
“Today I just showed my fight and to birdie the last was huge to get a tie for the lead.”
“It’s just about the belief. I’m going to go out there tomorrow and play my best golf. If it’s enough, it’s enough. If it’s not, it’s not.”
“We are always going to learn and today was a huge learning experience.”
Bernd erased the lead of Robert with two birdies in his round of -2 under 70, to share top spot on the leaderboard at -9 under for the tournament;
“There are a lot of thoughts going through my head right now but it was definitely an experience for me.”
“We have fantastic crowds out there. I got a lot of support today, which is unbelievable. I’m not used to leading an event on the European Tour.”
“It was tough on the back nine but those last two or three holes were back to good golf and hopefully I can continue that tomorrow.”
Paul Casey of England has third spot on the leaderboard to himself, just one shot back at -8 under par, a good round of -3 under 69 keeps him in sight of the Title, and the advantage of experience on his side;
“Solid stuff, probably my best ball-striking day this week; until 18 when I knocked it in the rough.”
“I was cruising around, having a good time. The sun’s out with no wind, my kind of style of golf.”
“There’s very little pressure on me. I’m the guy to beat, I’m the highest in the World Rankings of the guys on the leaderboard, but still I’ll go out, do what I did today and have a lot of fun, enjoying the golf course.”
“I would love to win a Porsche European Open.”
