Well, if you were hoping to catch a full display of golf prowess at the Swiss Challenge, the weather gods had other plans.
Day three at Golf Saint Apollinaire turned into an unscheduled swimming contest, thanks to torrential rains that left players and fans alike marooned under umbrellas, watching puddles form where fairways used to be.
Benjamin Hébert, the man of the hour, barely got a taste of the second round before the skies opened up.
He’s perched atop the leaderboard, sitting comfortably at six under par after just four holes.
That’s right, with clubs barely swung, he’s the frontrunner, with England’s Ben Stow nipping at his heels—though Stow hasn’t even started his second round yet.
Over in the clubhouse, Robin Sciot-Siegrist is holding down the fort. He’s managed to carve out a solo spot in third place, tallying up scores of 71 and 69 across his completed rounds.
Not too shabby considering he’s had more time dodging raindrops than chasing birdies.
With the tournament officials chopping the event down to a brisk 36 holes, tomorrow’s action kicks off bright and early at 8:20 am local time.
It’s going to be a dash to the finish, with players battling not just each other but possibly more inclement weather.
For those tuning in, grab your coffee and a cosy spot—this final round is gearing up to be a quick, compelling bout of golf, rain or shine.
