The Dubai Invitational is set for a thrilling finale on Sunday, with Ryder Cup stalwarts Rory McIlroy and Tommy Fleetwood set to go head-to-head in the final pairing.
Fleetwood surged up the leaderboard thanks to a superb eight-under-par 63 on Saturday to set the lead at -15 and take his first 54-hole lead on the DP World Tour in ten years.
However, he will have a battle on his hands with McIlroy just one shot back after a third-round 67. The Northern Irishman opened the tournament with a stellar bogey-free 62 and is bidding to kick off his defence of the Race to Dubai trophy in style.
The final pairing will get underway at 12.10pm (local time), with a host of other players looking to surge through the field and cause an upset in the DP World Tour's season-opening event.
Denmark's Thorbjorn Olesen is only three shots back off the lead after a solid bogey-free 66 on Saturday. He tees off in the penultimate pairing alongside Jordan Smith, who sits one further back at -11 after back-to-to-back 67s on Friday and Saturday.
Also on -11 is the South African duo of Thriston Lawrence and Zander Lombard. Lawrence won twice on the DP World Tour last year and will go in search of his fifth Tour victory on Sunday, while Lombard goes in search of his first win after an impressive year on Tour last time out.
Fleetwood has a one-shot lead heading into Sunday
Elsewhere, Rasmus Hojgaard, Yannik Paul and Sean Crocker will need a big day, with all three five shots back off the lead at -10, while Adrian Meronk rounds out the top ten at -8.
