Alejandro del Rey has a maiden DP World Tour title in his sights after toppling halfway leader Marcus Armitage to take a two-shot advantage into the final round of the Ras Al Khaimah Championship.
Spaniard Del Rey started the day two shots behind Englishman Armitage but made three birdies on each nine in a spotless 66 to reach 16 under par and hit the front in the United Arab Emirates.
The 26-year-old has tasted victory on the Challenge Tour before but has never won at this level and is hoping to change that on Sunday.
He said: "I've won on many different tours and places in the world and feel like I know how to get it done.
"You've just got to trust yourself and go out there and do your best. I think I know how to close out tournaments so I'll try to do that tomorrow."
Armitage is Del Rey's nearest challenger on 14-under after making three birdies and one bogey in his 70, while those in a tie for third are five shots further back.
When asked what his game plan is for Sunday, Armitage added with a smile: "Get at him (Del Rey). Let's have him. That's the only thing, let's have him."
Padraig Harrington, who just made the cut on Friday, shot a one-over 73 that leaves him level par for the tournament.
