Little leaps up leaderboard in Malmo

England’s Sam Little, a lowly 187th on this year’s European Tour money list, charged from 50th place to 12th with a four-under-par outward half of 32 in the third round of the SAS Masters in Malmo today.

While pre-tournament favourite Henrik Stenson was having a shocker – six bogeys in the first eight holes left the world number seven 77th and joint last of those who survived the halfway cut – Little birdied the first, sixth, eighth and ninth.
