Miguel Angel Martin posted a spectacular 64 today and now enjoys a 3 shot lead going into the final round of the 2011 El Valle Open. The european tour spanish veterans round included 5 birdies and an eagle and not a single bogey. Weather conditions were perfect today with bright blue skies,warm temperatures and virtually no wind. What the players did have to face were extremely slick greens, as the El Valle course was prepared for a regular European tour event with greens measuring close to 12 on the stimp meter. The cut for the top 40 players came in at +3 with a field that included several highly notable names such as Sam Hutsby, Mark Mouland and new European tour member, Florian Fritsch of Germany.

Currently in second place by himself at -9 is Jonathan Caldwell of Ireland who shot 66 today. In joint 3rd are Jack Doherty (SCO),Carlos Garcia (ESP)and James Busby (ENG) all at -6 after 36 holes. The fine high pressure system that has been in Spain the past 10 days is forecasted to continue for the next few days.

The final round will begin tomorrow at 8:30
