If Jon Rahm is going to win the Estrella Damm N.A. Andalucia Masters, he’s going to have to track down Christiaan Bezuidenhout, who holds a big lead entering Sunday at Valderrama Club.
Bezuidenhout, a 25-year-old South African searching for his first European Tour victory, is ahead by five shots after firing a 2-under 69 in Saturday’s third round. He carded just three birdies but for the second straight day notched only one bogey, as he consistently managed to get up and down, including four times in a five-hole stretch in the middle of his round.
Now, he’ll have to fend off Rahm, the world’s 11th-ranked player who is coming off a T-3 showing at the U.
