Jesper Svensson carded five birdies and one bogey for a 4-under-par total to remain in first place at the Open de France, but just one stroke ahead Thorbjorn Olesen and Sam Bairstow. The Dane carded a bogey-free round of four birdies, while the Englishman was also bogey-free but carded an eagle and four birdies.

In one of the most notable events of the Open de France, Johannes Veerman scored an 8-under 63 in the third round. The American carded eight birdies and no bogeys to move up 52 places on the leaderboard to T11.

Remarkably, Veerman made the cut on the number after being the only player to have to restart the second round on Saturday after the suspension due to darkness the day before. His restart came on the fourth shot of the 18th, where he eventually made bogey.
