Canter was four shots off the lead before shooting the lowest round of the day.
“I love this golf course,” the Englishman said. “I love the facilities and everything about it. It’s genuinely a bit of a privilege to play it. It’s a really special place.”
This is the European tour’s first time at PGA Catalunya since Miguel Ángel Jiménez won the 2014 Spanish Open at age 50 to break his own record as oldest tour winner. The venue hosted European qualifying from 2008-16.
