Dubai Desert Classic Leaderboard Gets Interesting
The Dubai Desert Classic leaderboard has a three-way tie at the top. The Dubai Desert Classic leaderboard has Anders Hansen, Thomas Aiken and Rory McIlroy setting the pace for what could be an exciting finish to the tournament on Sunday. Saturday saw Round 3 of the tournament take place, and that included one spectacular round from Alvaro Velasco.
Velasco had posted rounds of 74 and 70, but during Round 3 on Saturday, he posted an amazing 65. On a day when you were hard-pressed to find golfers posting round scores in the 60s, it was Velasco who had the best round of the day. That helped him jump up into a tie for fourth in the tournament, possibly allowing him to make a strike at the leaders during the fourth round. Velasco was aided by the leaders posting terrible rounds, and he matched the 65 that McIlroy was able to post in his first round Thursday.
The Dubai Desert Classic has been a very interesting tournament so far, especially with Tiger Woods making a bid to try to win his first tournament since November 2009. Woods posted an even par score on Saturday, maintaining his mark of 7-under par and keeping him just outside of the top spot on the leaderboard. Woods is one shot off the lead in a group of 10 golfers that can say that.
Sunday's fourth round is going to provide quite a few interesting stories, but fully expect the gold world to be inundated with articles about how Woods might be back to his old form. Woods had a 1-under par score on Thursday but posted a 6under 66 in the second round to put himself in the mix. Now there are 10 golfers that are at 7- or 8-under heading into the final round, with two more at 6-under.
The final round of the Dubai Desert Classic should be a good one, especially if Woods is contention heading to the final tees. On Saturday, though, several golfers really had a chance to put this tournament away, especially the three leaders, who all posted their worst scores of the tournament. Aiken ended up 2-over par in his round, then McIlroy was at 3-over par. They have got to pull things together if they want to win this tournament.
