    Just turned it on, no wind at moment anyway, the flags are barely moving. He has just stuck it to a couple of inches on par 3 12th

    he's level par for the day with 6 holes left so could do with going -1 under at least for those 6

    They are saying there is about a 10mph wind but it hardly seems noticeable.

    Meant to get it to 25mph tomorrow which they think will make it very tricky with tight fairways.

    Good composed performance from Shane today after a poor start.

    he's birdied the last par 3 15th now
    very good back 9 finish possible after a mixed front 9

    he's 6 under on the par 3's so far, that's cracking iron play!

    It only just hit me that it's the 3rd round today. Why is that? Hope Shane keeps it up, a win would be huge but top 10 be great too

    4 birdies and single bogey is a very good front 9 today.
    his first dropped shot on any par 3 this week so far which is a shame.

    -3\-4 under for the day would be a really solid position for tomorrow's last day

    A win for the Offaly man this week, would potentially move him to the world's top 40. He is currently not exempt for the Masters or the Open Championship at Royal Portrush. A win in Abu Dhabi would change all that. Fingers crossed!

    Big difference today is he's had 3 long snake putts which is usually a weakness

    You mean he has performed a type of putt very well that's normally one he struggles with?????.

    So his snake putts are actually a positive of today

    lovely stuff -4 now.
    his short iron's have been quality this week, which is giving him so many birdie chances on the par3's

    Huge opportunity for either Lowry or Sterne here.

    Both have the opportunity of a win that gets their 2019 off to a great start in their OWN hands.

    another birdie on a par 3!

    par his way home now and he will be -17 for the tournament which would put him in great spot

    If either Lowry or Sterne struggle tomorrow - the likes of Poulter aren't far away either.

    great finish on 18th with that birdie putt that's a seriously impressive round today -5 (-17) put's him in a great spot for tomorrow.

    Irishman Brian "Bo" Martin, who has caddied for the likes of Gary Murphy and Peter Lawrie and helped Frenchman Alex Levy and Dane Lucas Bjerregaard win in Portugal in 2014 and 2017 respectively, takes over full time.

    Poulter and Sterne helped close the gap with eagles, hopefully tomorrow will be about patience and let it happen and not panic if lead slips.
    His WGC win will help him mentally (not the US Open though)....

    Also going to be very windy tomorrow

    He’s a lovely natural golfer when he gets in his groove. Plenty of raw talent there.

    His caddie was busy. Not afraid to tell the crowd to stop moving and be quiet. Also requested a few times for phones to be put away.

    My feet are killing me now but really enjoyable day. So many Irish there that it must have felt like a home course for Lowry.
