His effort on 17, as we can see here courtesy of the European Tour Twitter feed, was especially impressive:



“I have learnt that when you lead on this tour it's not certain you are going to win but it would be a huge win for me,” said Noren afterward, per Martin Dowden of BBC Sport. “I would love to get a little higher in the ra...
