First, Sebastian Söderberg had to thank his lucky stars after an improbable bounce after a failed shot. But the Swedish golf star misunderstood the whole situation – and then everything went wrong anyway. "What's going on? asks the commentator in Viaplay's broadcast.

Sebastian Söderberg is chasing the top spot in the Nedbank Golf Challenge on the European Tour.

But Saturday's round was messy for Söderberg, to say the least. He alternated bogeys (+1) and birdies (-1) during the round.

On the ninth hole, special scenes took place when Söderberg was unbelievably lucky with the bounce – but then everything went wrong anyway.

"This is very strange," says the commentator about the hole that ended in a double bogey for the Swede.

Söderberg finished the round on two under par. The Swede is eight under par overall in seventh place, five strokes behind leader Max Homa. Alexander Björk is six under par and Vincent Norrman is five under.
