Fisher overcomes nature

A brilliant closing birdie – the only one all day on the 471-yard 18th - tonight took England’s Ross Fisher into a three-stroke lead with a round to go in The European Open.

After battling all day with both Graeme McDowell and 25mph gusts at The London Club, the 27-year-old from Wentworth took full advantage of the Ulsterman driving into the lake on the last.
