SHANE LOWRY IS within touching distance of the lead — and a first prize of more than €1.4 million — ahead of the final day of the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship.
But Rory McIlroy continued to struggle, finishing with a double bogey on the par-five 18th after an errant tee shot found water on the left side, to sit five shots off the lead in tied-13th. Advertisement A day after setting a course record 61, Waring was the only player among the top-29 on the leaderboard to post an over-par score. Fast-rising Dane Niklas Norgaard Moller hit a third round 69 to cut Waring’s five-shot overnight lead to the bare minimum, with Lowry, Tommy Fleetwood, Thorbjoern Olesen and Sebastian Soederberg in a group three back.“I’ve been driving the ball really good. My iron play has been great.
“Playing the last two holes two-over two days in a row is not ideal. Cost myself a few shots there,” said McIlroy, who is seeking to secure his sixth DP World Tour Order of Merit crown next week in Dubai and match the legendary Spaniard Seve Ballesteros.
