Day three digest: 2021 AVIV Dubai Championship

Everything you need to know from day three at Jumeirah Golf Estates.

Fire Course

There was a tie at the top, putters were not in fashion, 63 was the magic number and Dean was trying the trick shots in round three of the 2021 AVIV Dubai Championship.

Here is everything you need to know from Saturday in the UAE.

JB and Francesco set for desert duel

Both turn in 33 with three birdies. Both drop a shot on the back nine with another three birdies. Both fire 67s. Both 19 under heading into Sunday. Joachim B. Hansen and Francesco Laporta were inseparable in round three and will head out together in round four in the company of defending champion Antoine Rozner, who is just one back. "I'm looking forward to tomorrow. There is a lot of chances out there so just stay patient and see what happens," said Hansen. Game on.

Hole out eagles everywhere

From the middle of the fairway, from around the green, from the sand - they were going in from all over the place.

Adrian Meronk also made an eagle on the 18th but he was this close to an albatross.

Speaking of Adrian......

He made a little bit of personal history on Saturday, with his third round 63 being his lowest ever round on the European Tour. And he was not the only one setting personal records as Jazz Janewattananond also carded a 63 to lower his best 18 on the European Tour by one shot. Well played gents.

Loving life left handed

OK, Dean Burmester could not save his par at the fifth, but you have to love the effort.
