Commercial Bank Qatar Masters day three - What they said

Jeunghun Wang will take a comfortable three-shot lead into the final round of the Commercial Bank Qatar Masters but Nacho Elvira and Jaco Van Zyl will be fighting to reel him in as they look for their first European Tour titles.

Here, we take a look at what they - and some of the other chasing pack - had to say after round three.

Jaco Van Zyl (68, -12)

"It's a good score but I really felt like I left quite a lot out there. I hit it nicely today and just didn't quite capitalise where I could. I'll obviously try and get them back tomorrow and get some with interest. I'm really excited to get out there tomorrow. I've been hitting it nicely and playing nicely the last three days and I'll take that form into tomorrow."

Nacho Elvira (68, -12)

"I started hitting the ball pretty well. I think I was under control all the way through to the last couple of holes and then my mind wasn't in the right place on a couple of drives in the end. But overall, I'm pretty happy. I think 15 is playing the toughest hole on the back nine. It wasn't playing maybe that tough today because it wasn't blowing as hard at the end but obviously it's a tough hole and I guess I didn't do my process mentally on that tee-shot and that got me to miss my driver. Then it was a great shot on 17 and I managed to make birdie on 18. So I'm pretty happy finishing birdie-birdie."

Thomas Aiken (69, -11)

"It was a little tricky out there today. The pins are quite tucked and there was a little bit of a breeze early on in the day. It kind of calmed down towards the end. All in all, I'll take what I got. I'm positioned nicely going into tomorrow, four shots back, well within range and hopefully we get some breeze and it makes things a little interesting. But you can't force the issue. You have to go out and play your golf and at the end of the day, see what happens."

Rafa Cabrera Bello (66, -10)

"I'm very satisfied. I teed off earlier this morning and I was aware that I needed a low one to catch up with the leaders and I'm really pleased that the low one came out. I felt I played really well. I was in control the entire day, rolled some good putts. I gave myself lots of birdie chances so, in the end, I had a good score but I think I earned it. I know if I keep putting myself in that position, I keep playing the golf I'm playing lately, (winning) will happen again. It's just a matter of time."

Andy Sullivan (70, -10)

"I just tried to force it a little bit a couple of times with putts and ended up three-putting. On the whole, I'm pretty happy with two under. Not quite as sharp as the first two days. Hopefully I'll go out there tomorrow and find some fireworks and get up the leaderboard early. Five behind the lead, I'm still sitting there. So anything can happen tomorrow and I'll try and chase him down."
