Kjeldsen and Olesen lead Denmark to first victory in the tournament
“The psychology has been really interesting for me”, Kjeldsen said en route to the Scandinavian country’s first World Cup crown.
Chris Wood and Andy Sullivan of England (66), Francesco Molinari and Matteo Manassero of Italy (66) and France’s Victor Dubuisson and Romain Langasque (67) were also at 137.
“It’s been an absolutely incredible week”. I know it was kind of on our bucket list to do and the U.S.is very deep in talent, so to be able to come down here and do it was very cool.
“It’s definitely not going to be easy tomorrow”.
They had that same buffer over the United States heading into the last day – and preserved it. “They’re both really, really nice guys, Rickie and Jimmy, and we had a good time out there. It’s always nice if you hit it a little bit closer but really just didn’t get the putts to go in early enough”, said the 27-year-old, a three time PGA Tour victor. I felt like we’ve got to make some birdies at some point.
2 – France made a great run, closing with a 63 to finish in a tie for second with China and the USA.
No team that’s midfield or better was prepared to concede defeat. So, 1-over yesterday could have been a couple under and we would have really been in the mix.
“Then I chipped in for eagle as well”.
Denmark’s taming of the wind-swept 6503-meter (7111-yard) layout handed them a three-stroke lead ahead of China, with Spain one further back at the halfway mark of the tournament. “When you get a guy like this, on the back nine you feel you want to die for this guy”, Kjeldsen said of Olesen.
Olesen atoned with a good putt for birdie at the 13th, but the pair opened the door for the field when they three-putted the 17th green, and Olesen is not taking a big lead for granted heading into the final-day fourballs.
“I thought both of our caddies have done a tremendous job this week keeping us calm and sort of like playing our own game, both of us, but still doing it as a team. It’s a score we’re proud of and also a score we deserve”. “I think we’ll have to”.
Fowler and Walker carded a 69 on Saturday to move to outright second at 10 under.
New Zealand (64), Netherlands (64) Japan (65), Taiwan (65) Scotland (65), Sweden (66), India (66), Thailand (66), Wales (66) and South Africa (66) all had rounds of six-under or better to either catapult up the leaderboard, or make amends for a poor showing in the foursomes. “It’s an fantastic field and we had a great time”. They will start the final round 10 shots off the pace. This includes the preparation of derivative works of, or the incorporation of such content into other works.
