DP World Tour Championship, Dubai day three - What they said

Here, we take a look at what some of the chasing pack had to say after their third rounds.

Jon Rahm (65, -14)

"I'm kind of a perfectionist, I always find flaws but, to be honest, it was as close to a flawless round as I'm going to play. You're always going to miss shots, so we take that into account. I played really, really solid golf today. If this doesn't build momentum, I don't know what's going to. My last 27 holes I'm 13 under par taking into account the back nine yesterday and the round today. I'm feeling good, the game is feeling good. Hopefully I can keep doing the same thing tomorrow. It would be absolutely amazing (to win) just because of the fact that being Rookie of the Year, winning twice on the European Tour - once was already a dream but twice, and both of them being Rolex Series and one being DP World Tour Championship, it would be something really, really special. It would be the cherry on top of the icing of a great, great year."

Dylan Frittelli (63, -14)

"I definitely set high goals this year and I've achieved a lot of them. Obviously it's been a breakout year, it's been the best one I've had as a professional so far. I just hope to keep the form coming and play well tomorrow again. Ball-striking took a lot of the pressure off the putting. I didn't leave myself too many testers. 16, that was a great par save there and besides that, it was pretty plain sailing the rest of the way around. I've just got to stay focused and try to stick to the same routine. It's a round of golf. You've got to be happy with the situation and this is what we practise for. I love playing in front of crowds. I love playing with the best players in the world. I had fun with Sergio (Garcia) today, he's a good friend of mine and wonderful competitor, it's nice to mix it up with him. He played well, as well. Basically I'm trying to make as many birdies as I can tomorrow and compete with these guys."

Dean Burmester (65, -13)

"I've gotten off to a hot start pretty much every day, I like those first four holes. It was just nice to make a couple of putts on those and keep it rolling throughout the day. I played with Tommy today, a lot of fans out there shouting his name and he's got a lot of support. He also made an unbelievable comeback today with a run of birdies there. It's good for both of us, and I'm sure I'll see him tomorrow on the tee. I made a couple of putts, that's kind of what's been missing the last three, four months. It's been nice to find a putter I really, really like. After a day like today, just looking at the scoring, I think it will be more of the same tomorrow. The weather is always good here so guys will be firing at every pin and that will be the same and hopefully I wake up with the same swing tomorrow morning."
