Alvaro Quiros extended his lead at the 2017 Rocco Forte Open to five shots on Saturday, and the Spaniard now sits on 16-under overall in the Sicily golf tournament.

The Spaniard successfully navigated windy conditions and was one of just seven players to score under par, but several of his rivals struggled. Michael Hoey, Sebastian Soderberg and David Horsey all finished over for the day as they slipped further away from the leader.

Thomas Bjorn, who slipped to five under after scoring a three-over 74, took to Twitter to discuss the challenge brought on by the weather:
