Day three digest: 2021 Omega Dubai Desert Classic

Everything you need to know from Pink Saturday at Emirates Golf Club.

Everybody was pretty in pink, Casey took command, Bobby Mac had a wild front nine, and Hendy revealed he's lost his head on day three in the United Arab Emirates.

Here is everything you need to know from Moving Day at the 2021 Omega Dubai Desert Classic.

Everyone gets in the spirit for Pink Saturday

Pink Saturday has become a tradition at the Omega Dubai Desert Classic, with players, caddies, officials, staff and volunteers wearing pink to raise awareness for Breast Cancer Research. The 2021 edition is in association with the Al Jalila Foundation and while there were no fans to get involved, everyone on site more than made up for it.

You could even build an entirely pink outfit if you had Sergio Garcia's shoelaces.

Matt Wallace's trousers.

Ross Fisher's shirt.

And Rafa Cabrera Bello's hat.

And a special mention to Scott Hend. He may not have made the cut but that didn't stop him getting involved.

Speaking of Hendy...........

The Australian took to Twitter on Saturday to reveal that he'd had an unfortunate incident on day two. Anyone had this one happen to them?

Casey takes control

Paul Casey is chasing a pretty big achievement in Dubai. A brilliant bogey free 64 moved him to 15 under and gave him a one shot lead heading into the final 18 holes. If he can hold onto top spot he will become a 15 time European Tour winner, matching the record of Ryder Cup captains Thomas Bjørn and Padraig Harrington. "15 would be very cool," he said. "I can see the very impressive list of winners, those photos of them behind the 18th green. It's cool - iconic trophy, iconic event. Dubai has given so much to golf, especially the European Tour, so (to win) would be very, very cool but there's a long way to go yet." Another finish like this on Sunday would help get the job done.

Anything you can do........

Casey wasn't the only one finishing birdie-eagle and Ryder Cup team-mate and fellow Englishman Justin Rose was celebrating.

Robert has a roller coaster

A par at the first and a birdie at the short par four second is a fairly standard start at Emirates Golf Club - but what Robert MacIntyre did after that was anything but standard. After chipping in at the third, he missed the green at the fourth for a bogey and failed to recover from a poor tee shot at the fifth, three putting to pick up and then hand back three shots in four holes. He recovered with consecutive birdies to turn in 33 and then added three more to sit just one shot off the lead. "Eventful," was his word to describe his 67. We'd go a bit further than that, Bob.
