Westwood ahead by two strokes at Dubai
Westwood posted a bogey-free round Saturday and is at 15-under 201. Ross McGowan matched Westwood's 66 to keep within sight of the lead at 13-under. Padraig Harrington and Rory McIlroy each shot 3-under 69 in the third round and are tied with Noren Alexander, who had a 67, for third place at 10-under.
The tournament championship, to be decided Sunday, is worth $1.2 million to the winner but the golfer who leads the European Tour's money list also receives a bonus of $1.5 million. Westwood and McIlroy are battling for that check.
McIlroy was 6-under Saturday going to No. 16 but he hit a shot to the edge of a water hazard and took a bogey 5 there. He followed that with a 3-putt bogey at 17 and found the water again at 18 and ended with a third consecutive bogey.
Westwood was 1-under after eight holes Saturday before running off three consecutive birdies. He added a birdie at No. 14 and capped the day with a birdie at the 18th hole.
McGowan has gone 46 holes without a bogey to stay in contention.
