Patrick Reed shot a five-under 67 to claim a four-stroke lead after the third round of the Hero Dubai Desert Classic at Emirates Golf Club. LIV Golf players David Puig and Viktor Hovland are in contention, while Rory McIlroy's title hopes faded with a 71. Reed, Puig, and others face potential DP World Tour fines for their LIV commitments.
Rory McIlroy has voiced support for bringing the Open Championship back to Muirfield, the historic Scottish course that was dropped from the rotation a decade ago over its exclusionary membership policies. The world number two argues that the club has addressed those issues and deserves to rejoin the rota. His comments came during the Dubai Desert Classic, where he reflected on his own challenging history at the venue.
