If you haven't been following along, Luke Donald needs to finish outside the top 9 and Rory has to win for McIlroy to catch Donald and win the Race To Dubai..
That is not going to happen after today's play which has just wrapped up with Paul Lawrie sinking a monster of a putt for eagle 3 at 18, then leader Alvaro Quiros following with a bogey 6 on the same hole to cut the Spaniard's lead down to 2 shots (71) -14
Luke has finished with a 66 to stand 4th at -10, Oosthuizen 66 -11 is 3rd and Lawrie with that putt 66 -12 to start the final round.
Rory without his A game and looking out of sorts shot 71, but the good news is after going out in 39, he came back in 32 with 4 birdies to stand at -8, 6 shots back.
5 major champions are in the top 10, McIlroy, Schwartzel, Oosthuizen, Kaymer and Lawrie.
Peter Hanson has dropped to T5 (71) -9 but is steaming after someone left the rake for a fairway bunker lying right in the fairway beside the bunker and it trapped his drive leaving him with a very awkward stance, too close to the ball and he yanked it deep into the crowd surrounding the green, took a double bogey 6 and raised the old argument " where do you lead the rakes, in or out of the bunker"
In my opinion rakes should not be left in the bunker, but placed in the rough away from the fairway. This one was on the fairway side of the bunker, right in the fairway !!
The wind is forecast to blow hard tomorrow, so the race is still on.. for the tournament.. the Race to Dubai is over..
