Patrick Reed is closing in on his maiden Dubai Desert Classic title after opening up a four-shot lead on fellow LIV Golfer David Puig at Emirates Golf Club.

The American carded a five-under round of 67 on Saturday to take control of proceedings at 14 under, with his Spanish rival remaining in touch with a 66.

The penultimate pairing sees 2016 Ryder Cupper Andy Sullivan alongside Viktor Hovland, with both players on nine under, five back of Reed. They begin at 12.30pm local time.

The biggest name in the field is Rory McIlroy, but at three under, he's no longer in contention. He gets his final round underway at 10.06am local time alongside Darius van Driel.

Defending Champion Tyrrell Hatton is even further down the leaderboard. He's T42 at one-under and paired with Shane Lowry on Sunday, with a start time of 8.49am local time.

Dubai is in Gulf Standard Time, which is four hours ahead of GMT and nine hours ahead of ET, so the final group heads off at 3.40am ET and 8.40am GMT.
