Everything you need to know from day three at Al Hamra Golf Club.
Big drives and a big finish sent Nicolai flying, we saw some wedge magic and Shaun made one of the most satisfying eagles you will ever see on day three of the 2022 Ras Al Khaimah Championship presented by Phoenix Capital.
Here is everything you need to know from Saturday in the desert.
Højgaard powers ahead
Nicolai Højgaard birdied five of his last six holes to match his lowest-ever round on the DP World Tour and take a three-shot lead into the final day in Ras Al Khaimah. The Dane entered day three two shots behind Scot David Law but his late burst saw him move to 20 under with a 64. Law was his nearest challenger after a 69, a shot clear of Finn Tapio Pulkkanen, with South African Oliver Bekker then at 15 under. "I'm driving it well at the moment so I'm trying to play it quite aggressive and the last two days have been pretty good off the tee so that's the reason why I'm shooting these scores," said Højgaard. "You want to be in these positions going into the final round but it's 18 holes and a lot can happen. I'm going to try and do the same things, commitment and free up on the course, and I feel like I have a good chance."
And he hits it miles
The 20-year-old has been driving par fours for fun all week and there were more booming drives on Moving Day.
First tee shot. First driven green.

Bunker brilliance
He's pretty good with a sand wedge too.
No putter required
Bekker made six birdies in a row on the front nine - including this stunner.
Driver off the deck
We all love to see it, especially when it sets up and eagle. Take a bow Shaun Norris.
