Tight Race for Title and PGA Spot at Turkish Airlines Open

Daniel Rodrigues shot a third-round 68 to share the lead at seven under par at the 2026 Turkish Airlines Open before play was halted for two hours due to lightning. Mikael Lindberg also held steady at seven under, one stroke ahead of six players tied for third. Rodrigues started strongly with four birdies in six holes, briefly took the outright lead, but dropped a shot late. The 23-year-old rookie is chasing his first DP World Tour win and possible US PGA Championship qualification. The weather delay disrupted leaders, with Ewen Ferguson and others losing ground, while Lindberg stayed consistent, highlighted by four consecutive birdies on the front nine.
