- It was an honor to follow this round, says the expert Per-Ulrik Johansson in Viaplay's broadcast.

Broberg, who has been haunted by injuries, won the European Tour in Shanghai in November 2015. Then the success ended, not a single top 10 ranking since then.

Now he has the chance after the birdie party on the flat track outside s-Hertogenbosch.

Broberg got off to a crazy start in the sunshine and summer heat on the beautiful Bernardus course in Cromvoirt, the Netherlands.

He started with birdie, par, birdie and then an eagle on the four where he landed an inning 1.5 meters from the hole.

Then he missed the inning on the five and had a birdie putt from 7-8 meters which he lowered against all odds.

The ball finally chose to fall over the edge of the hole when Haningesonen was in the zone and everything succeeded.

Started with six under par for the day after six holes

Then Broberg led by five strokes after going an incredible five strokes under par for the day.

His teammates in the leader ball, the Dane Marcus Helligkilde and the Belgian Thomas Detry, became extras and had lost four strokes each to the fifth hole.

On the sixth hole, the birdie chance seemed to be out of reach as the putt was about ten meters slightly uphill.

He hit it improbably right in the cup with great determination.

The 35-year-old had until then kept cool and not shown any emotional expressions, but here he could not stay but burst into a big smile.

He was then extremely close to a birdie on the seventh since he put perfectly over a difficult undulated edge but the ball stopped a few centimeters from the hole cup and the pair was among the easiest in his career.

The first setback came at nine

The first setback for the day came at nine. Broberg's input ended up way too far into the green and the birdie putt was too weakly beaten, which resulted in the day's first bogey and the lead was down to three strokes. On tian, Broberg was on his way to a new bogey when he ended up both in the ruff and then in a bunker but was able to save a couple. He was definitely out of the zone but only temporarily. Therefore, the bird on the eleven was very important, not least mentally. He extended the lead to four strokes.
