Patrick Reed shot a 67 on Saturday to hold a four-stroke lead heading into the final round at the Hero Dubai Desert Classic in the United Arab Emirates.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

The American is the only player in the field at Emirates Golf Club to finish all three rounds in the 60s and stands at 14-under for the tournament.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

David Puig of Spain shot a 66 to climb nine spots up the leaderboard and into sole possession of second place at 10-under. Viktor Hovland of Norway surged from 20th place to a tie for third after his Saturday-best round of 65. He and England’s Andy Sullivan (71) are knotted at 9-under.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Reed, a member of the LIV Golf League and a former Masters champion, had a pair of bogeys on the front nine that were outweighed by seven birdies, including one on No. 18 that gave him momentum heading into the final round on Sunday.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

He is seeking his first win in the event after two top-10 finishes, including runner-up in 2023.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

“You’re always excited, showing up on Sunday with a lead,” Reed said. “That’s what I feel like all of us live for as players, competitors, to have a chance to win on Sundays and play late on Sundays and just battle out with all the guys. I know it’s not going to be easy — it never is — and doesn’t matter how big of a lead you have.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

“Looking forward to (Sunday) and just hopefully go out there and keep doing what I’m doing, putting well and hitting fairways and greens.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

First-day leader Francesco Molinari and fellow Italian Andrea Pavan both shot rounds of 71 to stand tied for fifth place, six strokes behind Reed.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Not faring as well on Saturday and well off the pace are World No. 2 Rory McIlroy of Northern Ireland and No. 3 Tommy Fleetwood of England. McIlroy finished with a 71 to move to 3-under, and Fleetwood shot a 73 to stand 2-over for the tournament. <\/p>\n<\/section>\n
