The Spanish jon rahmwith an excellent round of 65 strokes (seven under par), equaling the best card of the day, for a cumulative 201 (-15), has become the sole leader of the Dubai golf tournament, which is played in Jumeirah Golf Estates (Earth Course), final round of the year on the DP World Tour.
rahm leads with a stroke of advantage over the English matt fitzpatrickand with two on the Swedish Alex Norenin the absence of a day for a tournament that closes this year the DP World Tour.
The last day, in addition to deciding the winner of the Dubai tournament, with seven of the top 25 best players in the world, will decide the final victory in the final classification in the circuit season, which will now be a one-on-one between the Northern Irishman Rory McIlroy (first in the classification, with 4,154.1 points) and Matt fitzpatrick (third, with 3,155.5).
rahmwith 7 ‘bidies’, matched the 65 hits they had previously delivered Rory McIlroyworld number 1, and the Polish Adrian meronk, which concluded with a total of 204 (-12) and 206 (-10) hits, respectively. The Spaniard’s third card could even have been better, because on the 18th hole he kicked for the ‘eagle’, missing very little to hole out.
The one from Barrica, former world number 1 and currently fifth, who had started the day four shots behind the then co-leaders, the English tyrrel Hatton Y Matt fitzpatrick, will look for what would be his third victory in Dubai from an unbeatable position. Early on the back nine he was three shots behind Noren Y Huttonbut already at hole 15 he became a co-leader and did not come down from such a privileged place.
In addition, he took advantage of the sinking of Hatton, who finished with a 72 (even), for a total of -12 that still keeps him in play for the last day; and the errors of Nolen in e 13 and 16.
The only one who kept up with the Spanish was fitzpatrickwho delivered a 70 (-2) that leaves him in second place, one stroke away from rahm.
Of the rest of Spaniards, disastrous hole 7 of adri arnaus, where he signed a ‘triplebogey’ that made him go from -10 to -7. He conditioned him in the following holes, finishing with a 75 (+3), for a cumulative of -6. Better Jorge campillowho started badly but reacted (four ‘birdies’ in the last six holes) and delivered a third card with 71 (-1), for a total of -9 that takes him to eighth place.
Adrian otaegui has a total of -5; while Rafael Cabrera Bello It is on par, like the Paraguayan Fabrizio Zanotti.
