Doha (AFP) – Two English players, Oliver Fisher and Eddie Pepperell, lead the field heading into a final day at the Qatar Masters that could be complicated by rare rainstorms in Doha.
Fisher finished off Saturday’s third round with four birdies in a row to post a seven under par 65.
Eddie Pepperell, who has been among the leaders throughout, finished with a 66 and both players will start Sunday on sixteen under par and two clear at the head of a congested leaderboard.
Pepperell was helped by two birdies in the final three holes.
“I would say that is my best round,” he said. “I hit a lot of good shots.”
Alone in third spot, and on 14 under par, is America’s Sean Crocker, who shot a 67, his joint lowest round of the week.
It promises to be an exciting last day with 15 players within five shots of the leaders.
Also in the running are a group of five players on twelve under par, including Sweden’s Marcus Kinhult and France’s Gregory Havret.
Seven players are a shot further back including two Spaniards, Pablo Larrazabal and Gonzalez Fernandez-Castano.
The final round could be played in bad weather, with rain and storms forecast.
