DUBAI — England's Lee Slattery hopes his sparkling autumn form can help earn a debut Ryder Cup berth next year after making successive eagles in the third round of the DP World Tour Championship on Saturday.
The 37-year-old enjoyed a remarkable late surge on Dubai's earth course, picking up six shots from holes 14 to 17 to finish with a four-under-par 68 for the day and a one-under 54 hole total of 215.
"I had a couple of putts lip out early on the back nine, then I just made that eagle and it seemed to turn things around," Slattery told reporters.
