00:00 Hello, it's Martin Dempster, the Scotsman Golf Correspondent, coming to you from Jumeirah
00:06 Golf Estates, where the third round of the season-ending DP World Tour Championship has
00:14 concluded and we're certainly set up for an exciting last day here in Dubai.
00:22 Great to remember for Englishman Matt Wallace, he shot a 60, almost a 59, which you didn't
00:30 know he was on course to try and become just the second player to record that magical score
00:37 on the DP World Tour.
00:40 He carried a remarkable nine straight birdies on the back nine, the first time that's been
00:46 achieved on the DP World Tour, on a front or back nine.
00:50 He also tied the record for most consecutive birdies and also the most birdies in a round
01:00 of 12.
01:02 The Englishman holds a one-shot lead, but he's got some big guns breathing down his
01:09 neck in Tommy Fleetwood and Victor Hovland, both Ryder Cup players of course, and Hovland,
01:16 he's already won the FedEx Cup this season.
01:19 Ewan Ferguson, he's just three back.
01:23 Ewan who's now based here in Dubai, plays a bit of golf here, through that, he shot
01:28 a brilliant 64, really played fantastic golf, he's really grown in stature at this top level
01:37 and he's got a chance tomorrow to go out and secure one of the ten PGA Tour cards that
01:43 are on offer through the race to Dubai.
01:45 Bob McIntyre, he's already on course to get one of those tickets.
01:50 He's on ten under, which is six off the lead.
01:54 He was a bit disappointed with a 69 today, didn't like his attitude from the start and
02:01 he's going to have a wee look at the reason for that.
02:05 Set for a great last day of the 2023 DP World Tour campaign, keep in touch with anything
02:13 that's going on in golf on thescotsman.com or through buying the Scotsman.
