Tyrrell Hatton holds the lead going into the final round of the DP World Tour Championship in Dubai after a third-round 68, one stroke ahead of Victor Perez of France. Rory McIlroy shot a 72 on Saturday, finishing four shots back in a four-way tie for fourth, which dents his hopes of an eighth Race to Dubai title. Eugenio Chacarra, a 26-year-old Spaniard in his first full season on the tour and the current Race to Dubai leader, also shot 68 and is level with McIlroy in fourth. ESPN reported that Chacarra leads McIlroy in the standings by nearly 534 points, with 2,000 points on offer for the winner. Matching Colin Montgomerie's record of eight titles would require McIlroy to win the season-long crown. BBC Sport reported that Hatton said a lot could change, as the course is playing difficult and several strong players are close behind.
