The thing to remember is that it is a par 70 course and the result is -7.

On the second hole, he made the best shot of the day and was noted for one eagle, three strokes on the par 5 hole.

- Being bogey-free is always nice.

It is a fairly simple course but as I said, it is always nice to be bogey-free.

It felt very good.

I had a terribly bad rash on the first tee but managed to make par and after that it was very stable.

It was such a day when everything was under control, says Lemke in a video on the European Tour's website.

Three third places as the best in his career

Lemke finished strong with two birdies on the last two holes.

- I had two really good putts on the 17th and 18th, it was really tricky, and I had a good feeling.

It was nice to finish with birdies, says Lemke who is one stroke behind the leading Dane Jeff Winther.

Lemke has played on the European Tour since 2001. He has participated in 97 competitions and has two third places as the best in his career.
