The European Tour travels to the Celtic Manor Resort, the site of the 2010 Ryder Cup, this week as the continent's top golfers get ready for the 2014 ISPS Handa Wales Open.

With the 2014 Ryder Cup just days away, the course has been set up in similar fashion to Gleneagles, giving the likes of Stephen Gallacher and Thomas Bjorn their best possible preparation with an eye on next week's showpiece event.   

The Twenty-Ten course will challenge even the most experienced golfers, and Wales' tricky weather patterns certainly won't help.

 

Saturday Update

Joost Luiten took the lead off Shane Lowry in the third round of the 2014 Wales Open, setting up a tight finish as we head into the final day of competition at Celtic Manor.

The Dutchmen played a six-under 65 on Saturday to grab a two-shot lead at the top of the clubhouse leaderboard, but given Lowry's consistent form in 2014, anything will be possible during Sunday's round.

The favourite coming into the tournament, Luiten equaled his score from the opening round by playing consistent, clean golf. With three birdies on the front nine and three on the back nine, he did three shots better than Lowry on the day, who finished three-under 68.

Both birdied the second hole and carded the same score through the front nine, as Lowry attempted to hold off the charge from Luiten, per European Tour:

He couldn't keep pace on the back nine, however, scoring par throughout. Per European Tour, Luiten knows all too well which lead he'll have to defend on Sunday:

Gregory Havret and Thongchai Jaidee each sit just one stroke behind Lowry, and both will also be in the running to win this year's Wales Open on Sunday.
