DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Joachim B. Hansen and Francesco Laporta, players outside the top 150 in the world and with one win between them on the European Tour, share the lead heading into the final round of the Dubai Championship.
Hansen got up and down for par from a greenside bunker on No. 18 to shoot a 5-under 67 in the third round Saturday and move to 19 under par overall in the next-to-last event in the 2021 season.
The Danish player was soon joined in the lead by Italian Laporta, who two-putted for birdie from the front of the green at the last to also shoot a 67.
