Folks, buckle up! The 2026 Estrella Damm Catalunya Championship on the DP World Tour is delivering absolute nail-biting excitement right now. A name you need to remember: Yurav Premlall from South Africa, who delivered a round for the history books in Round 3. Things really heated up on the green at Real Club de Golf El Prat!
In the battle for the title, Premlall conjured up an incredible round of 63 (-9). That's not only a new course record, but also earned him a hefty $50,000 bonus, presented by Nexo! Oliver Lindell had already made quite a stir with his round of 65 (-7), but Premlall topped that again and snatched the record.
Premlall Takes the Lead
With this sensational round, Premlall opens up an impressive 5-shot lead over Stefano Mazzoli, who now starts the race for victory on Sunday from second place. The bonus is as good as secured for Premlall, by the way, unless something unexpected happens on the final day or 'preferred lies' come back into play.
Focus on Victory
Although he shattered the course record, Premlall remains remarkably cool. "Absolutely not... I didn't even know what the course record was," he said calmly after the round, focused on his first DP World Tour title. The tension is palpable! The stage is set for a dramatic showdown, where Oliver Lindell and other golfers still in contention will also be looking to make a charge. Will Premlall maintain his lead and seal the deal, or will we witness a surprising twist on the final day? We're excited to see who ultimately claims the victory!
