BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth
Som mer enn vanlig golfinteressert hadde en åpenbart hatt flere lykkelige øyeblikk som svensk. Med seieren til Andersson Hed for to uker siden har svenskene nå 28 forskjellige vinnere på Europatouren, og flere har hevdet og fortsatt hevder seg svært så bra på den store touren med Stensons seier på The Players i fjor som høydepunkt.
Da er det selvsagt typisk at samme dag som vi gremmes over vårt eneste håp (blant mennene), slår Robban Karlsson til med denne prestasjonen som inkl. 23 putter på 18 hull!
-One of the most remarkable 24-hour periods of Robert Karlsson's life ended at lunchtime with him setting a new Wentworth Club course record with a dazzling 62.
The 40 year old Swede flew home to Monte Carlo on Friday thinking he had missed the halfway cut on three over par. He was "a par five" from his house when he discovered things had changed, so returned immediately to Nice airport. On arrival, though, there were no seats left on any direct flight back to London, so he instead flew to Paris Orly and hired a private jet.
After a few hours' sleep, that took off at 6am and, with the hour's time difference, he was back at Wentworth at 6.45 and teed off two hours later. Nine birdies later he was, incredibly, tied for the lead with England's Luke Donald, who had yet to tee off for his third round. He began the day joint 63rd.
His round of 62 is the lowest round in the history of the BMW PGA Championship, dating back to 1955 and equals the best round of The 2010 European Tour season - matching that of Tetsuji Hiratsuka (Avantha Masters), Neil Schietekat (Joburg Open) and Paul Waring (Open de Andalucia de Golf).
Karlsson, furious after ending his second day's work with a double bogey seven on the revamped 18th, this time holed a 12 footer there and was all smiles.
"Do you want the short or long version?" he asked when requested to go through what had happened. "I've been in this position a few times and know it's important to keep going. I said 'we've got invited to this party, so let's party'.
"Don't touch my putter - you might burn your hands.
"It was important to get off to a good start (he had a hat-trick of birdies from the second) and the most important thing is not to back off and protect it."

En fantastisk historie for den godeste sympatiske Robban. Håper han tar seieren hjem i morgen, selv om det blir på bekostning av en av de jeg respekterer mest inne sving og balltreff, Luke Donald.
