DUBAI, United Arab Emirates - Rory McIlroy extended his lead to four shots with a 6-under 66 in the third round of the Dubai Desert Classic on Saturday. Jordan Henderson Jersey .The top-ranked McIlroy, who led by a stroke overnight, made just one birdie on the back nine of Emirates Golf Clubs Majlis course after five birdies in his first eight holes.With an overall 20-under 196, McIlroy can challenge the tournament winning record of 22 under, set by Stephen Gallacher in 2013 and Thomas Bjorn in 2001.Denmarks Morten Orum Madsen, who shot a 9-under 63 on Friday, was second after a 66 with six birdies.Englands Lee Westwood (69) was third at 14-under 202, six shots adrift of McIlroy.Defending champion Gallacher survived bogeys in the opening nine before hitting three birdies on the back nine. The Scot is tied for fourth at 203 alongside Englands Andy Sullivan and Danny Willett (70), and Austrias Bernd Wiesberger, after all four shot 70.McIlroy could do no wrong in his first eight holes as he birdied Nos. 1, 3, 5, 7 and 8. And then golf showed him all its quirks on the 10th.At the 549-yard par-5 hole, the Northern Irishman smashed a drive that went a massive 380 yards. But McIlroy could not birdie the hole as his effort from less than two feet spun out of the hole.I didnt put a foot wrong on the front nine and, when I missed that little short putt on 10, it seemed like that momentum I had just sort of went away and had to scramble a little bit for pars coming in, McIlroy said.He finally got a birdie again on the 17th, where he made an 18-footer, but needed to scramble to save par on the final hole after hitting his 4-iron second from 205 yards into the water guarding the front of the green.It was nice to make one birdie on 17 and then a great save on the last. It was nice to go out there today with no bogeys, McIlroy said. I was just trying to get as many in front as I can.As McIlroy surged, his closest rivals fell away on moving day and the 194th-ranked Madsen has the unenviable task of attempting to reel in the four-time major champion on Sunday.I was nice and calm all the way and putted well and hit the ball solid, Madsen said. I wasnt really in any major trouble, so that was nice.The $2.5 million tournament forms the closing leg of the three-stop Desert Swing of the European Tour. Danny Rose Jersey . The Brazilian driver had the second-best time in last months tests at Jerez and said the "good start" could play to his advantage when the season gets underway in Australia in March. John Stones England Jersey . His right arm rested in a sling and was encased in a cast from above the elbow to his hand. "Im excited," Fernandez said with a grin. http://www.englandsoccerpro.com/Jordan-Pickford-England-Jersey/ . -- Jacksonvilles offensive makeover is just getting starting.Kaupulehu-Kona, HI (SportsNetwork.com) - Despite trailing by as many as four shots on Sunday, Miguel Angel Jimenez caught fire on the back nine as he fired a final-round, 6-under 66 to outlast Mark OMeara and win by one shot at the season-opening Mitsubishi Electric Championship. Jimenez, who has now won two times in just three career starts on the Champions Tour, finished the week at 17-under-par 199 thanks to six birdies over his final nine holes at Hualalai Golf Club. OMeara, who trailed the leaders Jimenez and Rocco Mediate at the start of the final day, started off on fire and held a 3-shot lead at one point in the final round, but he could not quite withstand Jimenezs charge. OMeara carded an 8-under 64 and finished alone in second at 16-under 200. Like Jimenez, Couples also shot a 66 and he finished three shots back at 14- under 202. Mediate, who held the first-round lead and a share of the second- round advantage with Jimenez, carded a 2-under 70 and ended alone in fourth at minus-13. Defending champion Bernhard Langer fired a 5-under 67 to finish tied for fifth at 12-under 204 with Wes Short, Jr. (66), Colin Montgomerie (68) and Olin Browne (69). With Jimenez and Mediate deadlocked at minus-11 to start the day, OMeara started his way up the leaderboard with birdies on his first two holes, putting him at minus-10. After a par on three, OMeara pulled even with Jimenez and Mediate with another birdie on four. Both Jimenez and Mediate poured in gains on three to take the lead back before Jimenez grabbed the outright lead with a birdie on four. With Mediate a shot back, OMeara made his fourth birdie on six to join Mediate at 12-under. Jimenezs big mistake came on No. 5 where he tripped to a double-bogey and fell completely out of the lead and down to 11-under. In the meantime, OMeara drained yet another birdie on seven and Mediate birdied the sixth, putting them both in the lead at 13-under. OMeara continued to play exceptional golf when he chipped in for birdie on No. 9, giving him the outright advantage, but Mediate came back with a gain of his own on seven to tie the two once again. The back-and-forth finally ended when OMeara drained his seventh birdie on No. 10, while Mediate tripped to bogeys on eight and nine. Montgomerie was also making a charge when he made his sixth birdie of the day on 10, pulling him within one of OMeara. Gary Cahill Jersey. Jimenez remained quiet for a while after his double-bogey with four straight pars from six, but it was just the calm before the storm. Trailing OMeara by four when Jimenez made the turn, something clicked and he started off with a gain on 10 to get him to minus-12, three behind OMeara. I needed to make some birdies, said Jimenez. I started to make birdies and thats what you need to do. OMeara tripped to his only bogey on 12, but he rebounded with another gain on 13 to take a 2-shot lead over Montgomerie and three over Jimenez, who was at 12-under among others. Jimenez made it two straight birdies with a gain on 11, moving him to minus-13. While that was happening, Montgomerie made back-to-back bogeys on 13 and 14, dropping him back to 12-under and he never recovered. It appeared as if OMeara had the tournament under control when he took a 3- shot lead with a birdie on 14, but Jimenez quickly came back with a gain of his own on 13 to trim the lead to two. This is when Jimenez really made his move. OMeara wound up finishing with four straight pars from 15 to end at minus-16. Jimenez was able to tap in for birdie on the par-5 14th and he made it three straight gains with another one on 15 to pull even with OMeara. Following a par on 16, Jimenez knocked his approach on 17 about 30 feet from the hole on the fringe. Having putted so well all week, Jimenez just snuck his ball in the left side of the cup for a birdie that wound up winning the tournament. Jimenez stayed calm and made par at the last to claim his title. I tried to hit it as close as possible, Jimenez said about his putt on 17. I put (the second shot) right on line and then I holed that putt that was very important. NOTES: Jimenezs first win on the Champions Tour came at the Greater Gwinnett Championship last year ... Jimenezs other start on tour came at last years Senior British Open, where he ended tied for eighth ... OMeara will be inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame as a member of the 2015 class ...
