Shanghai. The stage has been set for a dramatic grand finale to the BMW Masters after a third round of exceptionally low scoring at Lake Malaren today. Thailand’s Thongchai Jaidee has opened up a narrow one-shot lead heading into tomorrow’s final round, but will find himself in a battle for supremacy among some of the world’s best players. The contest is so close – only three strokes separate Jaidee in first place and five Ryder Cup stars tied for sixth – that it is impossible to pick a winner.

In warm and benign conditions, the 46-year-old Jaidee spoilt an otherwise unblemished round with a bogey at the 18th, but was still smiling after finishing the day on 15 under par after round of 66. “If I play like this tomorrow I’ll have a good chance to win,” he said. “Six under was a good round.”

Lying just one stroke behind and lurking dangerously are Sergio García (ESP), who had a 67, BMW PGA Championship winner Byeong-Hun An (S KOREA), who had a 66, and Denmark’s Lucas Bjerregaard, the overnight leader, who had a relatively disappointing round of 70.

On 12 under par and also giving chase are Europe Ryder Cup players Henrik Stenson (SWE), Ian Poulter, Paul Casey and Ross Fisher (all ENG), as well as Patrick Reed, a member of the US team at Gleneagles last year, who had an outstanding 64. The best score of the day was a 63 recorded by Thomas Pieters (BEL), who opened his round with four successive birdies, and Alexander Levy (FRA), who came so close to winning this title in 2014. Matching Reed’s 64 was Kristoffer Broberg, of Sweden, who picked up nine strokes in 10 holes from the 7th hole to move to 13 under par and in contention for his first win on tour.

Marcus Fraser hit the shot of the day, at the 18th, when his ball found the hole ‘on the fly’ from 210 metres with a five-wood. The Australian has had eight holes-in-one in his career but this felt even better. “As soon as I hit it, I knew it was just perfect,” he said.

Among the German contingent, Martin Kaymer finished seven strokes off the lead after a 70, while Maximilian Kieffer, the BMW Golfsport Ambassador, finished on five under par after a 71. Marcel Siem, the defending champion, had a 68, but is too far back to contend.

In light of events in Paris, a number of players wore black ribbons in their hats.

CO2 emission information.

Fuel consumption, CO2 emission figures and power consumption and range were measured using the methods required according to Regulation VO (EC) 2007/715 as amended. They refer to vehicles on the German automotive market. For ranges, the NEDC figures take into account differences in the selected wheel and tyre size, while the WLTP figures take into account the effects of any optional equipment.

All figures have already been calculated based on the new WLTP test cycle. NEDC figures listed have been adjusted to the NEDC measurement method where applicable. WLTP values are used as a basis for the assessment of taxes and other vehicle-related duties which are (also) based on CO2 emissions and, where applicable, for the purposes of vehicle-specific subsidies. Further information on the WLTP and NEDC measurement procedures is also available at www.bmw.de/wltp.

For further details of the official fuel consumption figures and official specific CO2 emissions of new cars, please refer to the “Manual on the fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and power consumption of new cars”, available at sales outlets free of charge, from Deutsche Automobil Treuhand GmbH (DAT), Hellmuth-Hirth-Str. 1, 73760 Ostfildern-Scharnhausen and at https://www.dat.de/co2/.
