Sciot-Siegrist shoots 61 amid storms to seize Euram Bank Open lead
Robin Sciot-Siegrist delivered some scintillating golf either side of storms at the Euram Bank Open to claim a three-shot lead heading into the final round.
Play was suspended for nearly two hours in Austria because of lightning in the area, which threatened to disrupt Sciot-Siegrist's fine start.
However, having birdied the third and fifth before being forced off, Sciot-Siegrist went up a gear when play resumed, making gains at six straight holes between the eighth and 13th.

A ninth and final birdie at 16 left him on 16 under for the tournament, three strokes clear of Richard Mansell, in just his 12th European Tour start.
Overnight leader Joost Luiten - the highest ranked player in the field - had a day to forget, his challenge effectively ended when he made a 10 at the par-five seventh.
Further bogeys followed at eight and nine as he signed for a four-over 74, leaving him eight off the pace.
