Dubai Desert Classic Tee Times - Final Round
The Dubai Desert Classic is set for a thrilling conclusion, as Rory McIlroy tries to chase down Cameron Young
The Dubai Desert Classic will come to an exciting conclusion on Sunday, with Rory McIlroy chasing leader Cameron Young in the final pairing.
McIlroy, the defending champion, was ten shots off the pace heading into the third round, but now finds himself just two shots off Young after a scintillating nine-under-par round at Emirates Golf Club.
The World No.2 was two-under through his first three holes before making four consecutive birdies through the turn. Another birdie came at the par-five 13th before the Northern Irishman drained a huge eagle putt from off the green at the last to sign off his lowest round in a Rolex Series event in style.
But he will still have work to do on Sunday to win the Dubai Desert Classic for a fourth time, with Young battling back from a sluggish front nine to post a one-under-par 71 and maintain the lead at -14 heading into the final round.
The final duo will get underway at 3:39am ET (8:39am GMT), with Adrian Meronk also in contention on -12 after a steady round of 70. The Pole won three times on the DP World Tour last season and will tee off with first-round leader Haotong Li at 3:30am ET (8:30am GMT).
Elsewhere, Rasmus Hojgaard and Joaquin Niemann sit at -9 and -8 respectively, while Tommy Fleetwood, Alex Fitzpatrick and Thorbjorn Olesen round out the top ten on seven under par.
