Norret holds lead at Austrian GolfOpen

ATZENBRUGG, Austria, Sept. 24 (UPI) -- Denmark's Thomas Norret turned in a two-under 70 despite two bogeys on the back nine Saturday to take sole possession of the lead at the Austrian GolfOpen.

Norret, who began the day as one of four players tied for the lead, had seven birdies in the round and ended with a two-stroke lead over the pack at the Diamond Country Club in Atzenburgg.

Norret might have had a three-shot lead but he turned in a five on the par-4 18th hole.

Norret heads into Sunday's climax at nine-under 207, two shots ahead of a foursome in second place that included former co-leaders Robert Coles of England and Joost Luiten of the Netherlands.
