Porsche European Open: Key Takeaways From Day Three

Despite the poor weather, it was a pretty relaxing Saturday for Alexander Levy. He had just one hole to complete from his second round, which was cut short by darkness, intermittent fog and rain delays on Friday.

The Frenchman could be excused for a light work day thanks to his sparkling play in the first two rounds. He has yet to make a bogey this week and has posted 32 or lower on all four nines, showing steady dominance with scores of 62 and 63.

Levy’s putting will be the X factor in the final round. The 26-year-old has needed just 50 putts thus far, four shots better per round than his 29.2 average, which placed him at No. 62 on the European Tour heading into this week.

The short hitter will have to rely on his hot putter and continued steady scrambling (75 percent this week, 58.9 percent for the season) if he is to fend off his pursuers who will have nothing to lose in hopes of going low at Bad Griesbach.
