The 35 year old golfer has hit 40/54 Greens in Regulation and he ranks 1st for Par 5 Scoring with a 4.33 average. Craig is making lots of birdies and will be hoping to gain his first European Tour victory tomorrow.

The 28 year old is in superb form of late with 6th and 2nd place finishes in his last two events. He leads the Par 4 Scoring with a 3.80 average and comparatively he has made very few mistakes over the tricky Parador de El Saler course.

Paul WARING -5

Paul Waring's Genworth Tournament Statistics highlight that he is hitting the ball long and straight. The 28 year old English golfer ranks 6th for Driving Accuracy (with 42/52 fairways hit) and 7th for Driving Distance (with a 291 yard average). Currently playing on a medical exemption, Paul is yet to record a top three finish on the European Tour, so a win tomorrow could do wonders for his golfer career.
