DP World Tour : Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship Leaderboard
Paul Waring saw his lead cut to a single shot after the third round of the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship.
The Englishman started the day five clear but a one-over 73 left the door ajar for the chasing pack.
Waring's -18 total is one clear of Niklas Norgaard, with Tommy Fleetwood, Shane Lowry, Thorbjørn Olesen and Sebastian Söderberg tied for third on -15
“I'm a little bit disappointed – I felt like I could have put myself out of sight but four rounds of golf, you're always going to have a bit of an iffy run of holes, an iffy round of golf. If beginning of the week you had given me a one-shot lead going into tomorrow, I'd have snapped your hand off.
“I'm trying to remain positive that I'm still in the lead, looking forward to getting out there tomorrow. “I wasn't at my best today, felt a little bit jittery in total honesty, I felt the greens were a foot-and-a-half quicker, they were breaking a bit more than what I was reading. I just struggled on them a little bit today.
Norgaard had four birdies against a single dropped shot in his 69 and admitted he is starting to feel like he belongs at big events following his first DP World Tour win at the Betfred British Masters hosted by Sir Nick Faldo.
“Today playing in the final group I would have been so nervous if I had not tried that before. It's funny how it takes you, because a year ago, I really felt like a guest at these tournaments, and now I feel more at home.”
