McIlroy fades as Hatton leads in Dubai
Tyrrell Hatton has moved into the lead at the DP World Tour Championship, finishing the third round at nine under par. While Hatton maintained his position despite a challenging final hole, Rory McIlroy slipped back to five under, leaving him four strokes off the pace as he pursues a record-equalling eighth season title.
Victor Perez sits in second place at eight under, followed by Mikael Lindberg at six under. McIlroy remains in a tie for fourth alongside Eugenio Chacarra, Adam Scott, and Francesco Laporta.
With the tournament concluding Sunday, McIlroy must finish ahead of Chacarra and inside the top four to secure the Race to Dubai crown. Other notable scores include Jon Rahm at three under and Tommy Fleetwood at three over.
