VIENNA, June 8, 2013 (AFP) - The Dutchman recovered from a poor start where he dropped two shots to birdie seven of the remaining 13 holes for a 16 under par total of 200.

Spanish duo Eduardo De La Riva and Jorge Campillo, who returned to the clubhouse with a 69 and a 66 respectively, share second, three shots behind.

Denmark's Thomas Bjorn (64), whose round included an eagle at the par four 12th, and France's Romain Wattel (69) are two strokes further adrift.
