SCOTT Strange overcame a dizzy spell to lead the way by three strokes going into the final round of the EPGA Wales Open on the par 71 Celtic Manor Resort course.Buoyed by his opening round 63 Strange carded a two-under-par 69 to motor three shots clear of Spaniard Alvaro Velasco with Indian Jeev Milkha Singh, Swede Robert Karlsson and Frenchman Raphael Jacquelin a shot further back.
But Strange was relieved to have managed to get through the day at all as the 31-year-old Australian lost just one stroke of his four-shot start-of-day advantage.
”Maybe I just need to lie down. For some reason I felt funny down the 14th and when I got on the 15th tee,” Strange said.
“I felt I was going to fall over and throw up. I had a banana and a chocolate bar, but I had plenty of food and drink before that and can`t explain it.
Having clung on Strange is now closing in on his first European Tour win and a $A600,000 winners cheque after two Asian successes.
