Larsson, 17 years old, said: “I did not play well today – it was not good at all. I started alright – but had two three-putts in the first five holes. I birdied holes 6 and 7 and got it back to level.
“I birdied 15th and bogeyed 16 and 17 and finished with a par. I will now go to the practice round here at JGE to tidy up my game for tomorrow’s final round.
“This is a big tournament for me and I will do my best and see where I finish,” he added.
