From DP World Tour News:
Adrian Meronk will take a one-shot lead into the final round of the 2022 Horizon Irish Open as he goes in search of his maiden DP World Tour title.
The Polish star saved his best until last on Moving Day at Mount Juliet Estate, producing a hat-trick of birdies from the 15th before closing with a par to sign for a sensational 68.
The 29-year-old is enjoying a brilliant 2022, with six top-ten finishes to his name so far this season, including three in the month of May.
He sits at the top of a crowded leaderboard, with multiple winners Fabrizio Zanotti and Jorge Campillo just one shot back in a tie for second alongside Jack Senior who, like Meronk, is also chasing his first DP World Tour victory. Read more
From RTE.ie:
The chances of a home winner at the 2022 Horizon Irish Open appear all but over as Seamus Power endured a disastrous third round that saw him fall outside the top 50, while Poland's Adrian Meronk will carry a one-shot lead into the final round at Mount Juliet.
In wet conditions, Power carded a 77, the second highest round of the day, with Kazuki Higa going one shot worse as scoring remained mostly low.
Power had started the round on eight-under and just three strokes off the lead, but his third round was delayed due to a medical emergency in the crowd. Read more
From The 42.ie:
THERE ARE NO Irishmen up around the top of the leaderboard heading into the final day of the Horizon Irish Open but, given the drama that could potentially unfold on Sunday, that may not matter.
Consider what happened in Saturday’s third round as a small taste of what could be awaiting the sold-out crowd at Mount Juliet on day four. At one point there were five players in a share of the lead as the final groups made their way towards the end, and by the close of play, there are 14 players within four shots of the lead. Read more
