Julien Sale remains alone atop the leaderboard at the HotelPlanner Tour Grand Final in Mallorca, one stroke clear of the chasing pack with one round to play.
Julien Sale maintained his position at the summit of the HotelPlanner Tour Grand Final on Saturday, carding a steady 70 (-2) in the third round at Mallorca. While less spectacular than his previous efforts, the round was enough to keep him in sole possession of first place at 15 under par, with a single stroke separating him from a trio of pursuers.
Sale's consistency has been the hallmark of his week so far, and he remains projected to finish as the Road to Mallorca number one if he holds his ground on the final day. The pressure will be intense, however, as the chasing group is well within striking distance on a course that has offered scoring opportunities throughout the tournament.
Among the other French contenders, Maxence Giboudot produced his best round of the week with a 68 (-4), a welcome response after two quieter days. That effort lifted him to a virtual 16th place, giving him a solid platform for a strong finish in the season-ending event.
Less encouraging was the day for Brun, who continued to struggle and failed to make any significant progress on the leaderboard. His difficulties stand in contrast to the momentum shown by Sale and Giboudot, and he will need a remarkable final round to salvage a meaningful result.
With 18 holes remaining, the Grand Final remains wide open. Sale's lead is slender, and the chasing pack will be eager to apply pressure from the opening tee. The final round promises to be a tense affair as the season's ultimate rankings take shape.
