Golfer from France, Antoine Rozner, moved ahead with one shot, with a total result of nine shots below par, edging out his closest superiors, including Tyrrell Hatton and the leader of the Dubai tournament, Rory McIlroy, who remain at one shot behind.
On the second nine, Rozner started with an eagle below par, and then he recorded a series of three consecutive birdies starting with the ninth hole, followed by a trio of birdies on the following 14th, to finish the round in the leading position for the fourth time in his career on the European Tour.
If Rozner wins this tournament, it will be his second victory on the tour in Golf and his first in the Golf World Series.
