DOHA, Qatar — Denmark’s Thomas Bjorn shot a 6-under-par 66 on Saturday to take a one-shot lead into the final round of the Qatar Masters.
Bjorn birdied four of the last five holes to finish at 11-under 205. He leads overnight leader Markus Brier, who had a 69. Defending champion Robert Karlsson finished with a 69 and trails the leader by two shots. He had five birdies in six holes to finish with a 31 on the back nine.
“When you finish a round with four birdies in the last five, you have to walk off very happy,” Bjorn said.
Martin Kaymer had a 68 and is 10 shots behind Bjorn. He needs a second-place finish to overtake Lee Westwood at the top of the rankings. Westwood missed the cut Friday.
Tseng leads by three
MELBOURNE, Australia — Defending champion Yani Tseng shot a 5-under 68 to take a three-stroke lead over Jiyan Shin (69) into the final round of the Women’s Australian Open.
