Francesco Laporta and Joachim B Hansen shared the lead heading into the final round at the AVIV Dubai Championship, with Padraig Harrington five shots further back.
Laporta sunk a birdie on the 18th to match Hansen’s third-round 67 at the Jumeirah Golf Estates, with the joint leaders on 19 under par.
Defending champion Antoine Rozner sits a shot behind on 18 under, while Kalle Samooja is in fourth just ahead of Min Woo Lee and Tommy Fleetwood, who rattled in six birdies on the back nine for a four-under 68.
Harrington carded a second successive 67, sinking six birdies and recording just one bogey, to move to 14 under and a share of 10th place with six other players.
Rozner moved three clear at the top of the day, but was unable to improve on his one-shot lead at the start of the weekend across a topsy-turvy third round.
A double-bogey at the fifth proved his undoing, allowing Laporta and Hansen to jump ahead.
Laporta claimed three birdies in the opening seven holes, with Hansen sinking three in a row from the fifth.
Tommy Fleetwood endured a battling front nine, but three birdies in four holes from the 10th turned his round on its head.
