Story so far

Gavin Green and his ante-post supporters have the rain in Prague to thank as the Malaysian will head into the third and final round of the Czech Masters with a three-shot lead on Sunday afternoon.

Heavy downpours in the Czech capital turned the Albatross Golf Resort unplayable for most of Saturday, forcing the DP World Tour to cut the tournament to 54 holes.

Green leads two-time champion Thomas Pieters by three shots. The Belgian is joined at 11-under by Richard Mansell, who was advised ante-post by Racing Post Sport's Ian Wilkerson, and German player Marcel Schneider.

Final-round preview

Green was a general 5-2 shot to lift his first DP World Tour title at the 36-hole stage but the Malaysian has been clipped into 6-4 after the move to make the Czech Masters a 54-hole affair.

As a result, he's in a commanding position and will take home the Albatross title if he replicates the brilliant second-round performance which saw him record a 63 in rain-softened conditions.

The wide fairways of the Albatross are perfect for Green, who can be wild off the tee, and there's every chance the Malaysian holds on for all that he's likely to come under serious pressure from both Pieters and Mansell, a pair of long drivers who relish this layout.

The leader makes no appeal at the odds, however. He's struggled for consistency in recent seasons and there is scope for him to fall away if he makes early errors, which would bring the big hitters into play.

Pieters is the obvious candidate but Mansell, who leads the DP World Tour in strokes-gained off the tee this season, should make a bold bid after carding opening rounds of 67 and 66.

He might not catch the leader but he's likely to get the better of Schneider in their 12.05pm twoball.
