Everything you need to know from Moving Day in Dubai.

MacIntyre motors on Friday morning

Robert MacIntyre lit up Jumeirah Golf Estates - Fire Course on day three as he surged into contention at the 2020 Golf in Dubai Championship presented by DP World. The Scot started the day on ten under but began his birdie trail from the opening hole. He dialled in his tee shot to four feet at the second before going even closer with his approach at the next to make it a hat-trick of gains. He picked up another shot from 12 feet at the fourth before rolling in his fifth birdie in a row at the fifth to sit three behind Andy Sullivan. The Aphrodite Hills Cyprus Showdown winner eagled the seventh to go seven under through seven and turn in a tournament low 29.

Lagergren's cool hole out

Joakim Lagergren kick-started his third round with a stunning hole out at the fourth in Dubai. The Swede endured a roller coaster first three holes on Friday following a par-bogey-birdie start but it got even better at the next. On the fairway, he was 138 yards from the pin but only needed one attempt to find the cup following two bounces. There was no celebration as his caddie casually handed over his putter so it would have been a pleasant surprise when he reached the green. The 29-year-old went on to card a five under par 67 to sit in a share of 12th.

Crocker chips in

American Sean Crocker also made a fast start after three birdies in his opening seven holes. The par three eighth requires plenty of thought as the green slopes towards the water on the right. Crocker's tee shot found the rough on the left of the TV stand but he chipped to the fringe of the green and the ball rolled at speed towards the flag. Luckily, his effort rattled into the pin and dropped for an unlikely birdie two.

Fisher's superb par save

Ross Fisher was flawless during his first rounds but he had to work hard to maintain that record when he went right off the tee at the fourth. The Englishman was forced to take a penalty drop and could only find the fringe of the green with his third shot on the par four hole. However, Fisher's putter came to the rescue when he needed it most.

MLV's huge eagle putt

Frenchman Mike Lorenzo-Vera posted the joint lowest round of the day with a seven under 65. He mixed seven birdies with two bogeys heading down the last before he produced this monster effort to sit at 14 under par overall.
