Rory McIlroy slips back as Tyrrell Hatton leads entering final round in Dubai
RORY MCILROY SLIPPED back on the third day of the DP World Tour Championship, as Tyrrell Hatton moved into a solo lead heading into the final round.
Hatton leads on nine-under after a round of four-under 68, leaving him one shot clear of French player Victor Perez who carded a 67 today.
McIlroy finished with a level-par 72 to leave him on five-under, thanks to a birdie on the last, but he had missed an eagle opportunity there. He earlier recorded an eagle on the par-five 7th, before dropping shots on his next three holes in a costly run.
That leaves McIlroy in a tie for fourth, alongside Eugenio Chacarra, who is strongly in contention with him to land the Race To Dubai season prize.
Hatton is four shots ahead of McIlroy, the pair enduring contrasting fortunes after sharing the lead at the halfway point.
