The Asia-Pacific Amateur Championship is set for an intriguing finish in the desert.
Atop the leaderboard is Keita Nakajima, the No. 1-ranked amateur in the world who is searching for another signature victory. The 21-year-old from Japan carded a 4-under 67 to inch in front at Dubai Creek Golf and Yacht Club, just one shot clear of two-time AAC winner and defending champion Yuxin Lin.
Nakajima birdied the 16th hole and then buried a 15-footer on the last to save par after finding the penalty area off the tee. That kept him in front at 11-under 202, with 11 other players within four shots of the lead heading into the final round.
