As the leaders began to lose ground, Baddeley surged ahead. He made three birdies in a four-hole stretch, culminating with a six-foot putt on the 13th hole that stretched his lead to three. But he took bogey after a tee shot into deep rough on the 15th hole, dropped another shot with a tee shot into the bunker on the par-3 16th and looked to be in big trouble on the 17th until his great escape.

Baddeley rode three birdies over five holes in the middle of the match to a 3-up lead through 11 holes. After giving one back at the 12th, he parred the 15th and birdied the 16th to close out Calcavecchia. Baddeley will face David Toms in the second round on Thursday.
