Marcus Kinhult leads the Alfred Dunhill Championship by 2 shots
MALELANE, South Africa — Marcus Kinhult will take two shots into the final round of the Alfred Dunhill Championship as the Swedish golfer tries to win his first European Tour title in 5½ years.
Kinhult got up for birdie from the greenside bunker on the par-5 No. 18 to shoot a 3-under 69 in Saturday’s third round. He was under 14 years old in this tournament.
Kinhult’s second-round lead was cut to one stroke at Leopard Creek Country Club, and Ryan van Velzen moved into second place after a bogey-free 65 that included an eagle 3 on 13 from the bunker.
Darius van Driel scored three goals back in the third after the round of 67.
The only European Tour title for Kinhult, 28, came at the British Masters in May 2019.
This tournament is the second in a row in South Africa on the European tour, after last week’s Nedbank Golf Challenge.
