England’s Jordan in contention at Alfred Dunhill Links
England’s Matthew Jordan is two shots behind leader Casey Jarvis before the final round of the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship, putting himself in contention for his first DP World Tour win. Jordan said he had wanted to give himself a genuine chance to win after feeling in recent months that he was often too far back.
Jordan shot a six-under-par 66 at Kingsbarns to reach 16 under. Jarvis leads on 18 under after a bogey-free 65 at St Andrews, while Poland’s Adrian Meronk is level with Jordan after a nine-under 63 and Belgium’s Thomas Detry is one shot further back. Jordan was runner-up at the Nexo Championship in August and won the St Andrews Links Trophy as an amateur in 2017.
