Co-leaders since Thursday, Alejandro Cañizares and Thriston Lawrence took off in the lead, but the two might not finish their second lap. In question, a long interruption due to a storm. Two Swiss, Joel Girrbach and Benjamin Rusch, will pass the cut.
Alejandro Cañizares and Thriston Lawrence were stopped by darkness as they posted -13 totals. They had a 3-stroke lead over their closest pursuers, Nacho Elvira and Marcel Siem, who were able to complete their second lap. This day was disrupted by bad weather, which forced the organizers to interrupt the game for more than 2 hours.
Best Helvetian Thursday with a 19th rank, Joel Girrbach managed to finish his 2nd lap, returning a card of -1 for a total of 136 (-4). The Thurgovian ended his day in style by signing 3 birdies on the last 5 holes, but fell to 34th provisional place. He was joined in the standings by Benjamin Rusch, who played 3 strokes under par. A 3rd Swiss, the amateur Maximilien Sturdza, can also hope to pass the cut.
