South African Jarvis eyes Alfred Dunhill title
LONDON: Casey Jarvis on Saturday moved a step closer to winning the Alfred Dunhill Championship after building a two-stroke lead heading into the final round.
Casey Jarvis is inching closer to claiming the Alfred Dunhill Championship title after building a two-stroke lead heading into the final round at St Andrews. The South African golfer, who is aiming to secure his third DP World Tour win of the season, posted a round of seven-under par on Saturday. Jarvis' impressive form continued at the links event, played over three courses - Carnoustie, Kingsbarns and St Andrews.
The latter also hosts the last round on Sunday. Jarvis, who held a one-shot advantage overnight, started with a fantastic eagle on his approach from 103 yards before collecting three birdies ahead of the turn, despite the windy conditions. He added two more birdies on the back nine, finishing with a 65 and sitting at 18 under. Englishman Matthew Jordan and Poland's Adrian Meronk tied the joint-best round of the day with a nine-under 63 at Kingsbarns.
Jarvis expressed his excitement about the prospect of playing the Old Course on Sunday, saying, "I just felt like I was in control of my game today. Every golfer dreams of taking a lead, playing the Old Course on Sunday. I got goosebumps right now just standing here. I just can't wait for tomorrow."
