David Mullin had held the TEG 6 Green Jacket since the third hole of round one. Fifty-one holes of unbroken leadership, through Costa Brava and PGA Catalunya. At El Prat's Rosa course it finally gave way. He carded his worst gross round to date, a 29. A second round that had him at -1 became a close on 11 over. The damage came in bursts. A quintuple bogey nine at the 15th, the worst hole of his TEG. Then a quadruple bogey nine at the 18th, offered up as a closing statement.

While Mullin unravelled, Jon Baker gained three shots to par across the last three holes. A par at the 18th was enough to put him into the outright Green Jacket lead by a single stroke. He had taken a 9 at the 8th earlier in the day, so nobody should mistake this for clean golf. Elsewhere, Gregg Williams retained his grip on the TEG 6 Trophy. The Wooden Spoon changed hands too, Meller dropping to last place and releasing Neumann. Neumann's paperwork, it turned out, was in order.

Henry Meller's round at El Prat - Rosa came apart in one ugly stretch. He had gone strong in Round 2 at -5. He then swung 20 shots the wrong way to finish this round on 15 over. The damage was concentrated between the 7th and the 10th. Four holes, 14 gross shots, not a single net par: a triple bogey, a sextuple bogey, a double bogey and another triple, in that order. The sextuple arrived at the 8th, one of the hardest holes on the course, and took the form of a 10. It was not his first 10 of the day. He had opened with one at the 1st, a quintuple bogey on the par-5 and the worst hole of his tournament relative to par. At the 17th, the hardest hole on the course, he added a nine. Throughout, he gave the impression of a man conducting normal business.

The cumulative effect carried him to the bottom of the Wooden Spoon race, a position he had not occupied before this round. He now sits eight shots adrift of the next-worst player, which in this competition counts as commanding.

Real Club de Golf El Prat's Rosa course made its TEG debut in round 3. Greg Norman designed it, and it left its mark on the same stretch of holes for almost the whole field. The 7th, 8th and 9th were the wrecking ground. The 8th is ranked the hardest hole on the course, and it behaved accordingly.

Jon Baker took a quintuple bogey 9 at the 8th. Gregg Williams made a quadruple bogey at the 7th, then followed with further bogeys at the 8th and 9th. Eight shots gone across three holes. Meller suffered worst of all. A triple bogey at the 7th, then a sextuple bogey 10 at the 8th, then more dropped shots at the 9th and 10th. Fourteen shots lost across four holes.

The damage reshaped the standings. Williams kept his 2013 Trophy lead, trimmed to 8. Baker's meltdown did not stop him snatching the Green Jacket lead from David Mullin, a five-shot gap cut to one. Meller's collapse was the costliest, and it delivered him the Wooden Spoon lead, eight shots ahead of Stuart Neumann.
