The 35-year-old Swede, a feted Arizona State grad who has never turned that promise into success at the highest level, was brilliant for 14 holes on this Sunday and yet he will depart the country somewhat frustrated about his finish. His front nine was a stellar effort including five birdies at the second, fourth, fifth, sixth and eighth. When he added more par breakers at the 11h, 13th and 14th he found himself hot on the heels of the leaders and with every chance of setting them a difficult target on a day when they were laboring under the weight of their own unfulfilled expectations. However, the Jose Maria Olazabal design is at its toughest over the closing four holes and Lemke got a taste of that difficulty, making bogeys at the 15th and 17th. They were costly errors as he ended the day just one blow outside the play-off between David Drysdale and Jorge Campillo.
