Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry enter the final round of the Dubai Invitational three and two strokes back, respectively, of leader Nacho Elvira. The Spanish golfer holds a two-shot advantage heading into Sunday, setting up a tense battle for the DP World Tour title on the Dubai course.

McIlroy’s week has been a rollercoaster, featuring a strong opening 66, a second-round 74 with four water balls, and a steadier 68 on Saturday. Lowry sits tied for second, aiming to outpace his countryman and challenge Elvira, who must contend with the quality of the players directly behind him on the leaderboard.

With Sky Sports Golf providing live coverage, the final group tees off at 8:10 am UK time. Analysts believe Elvira will need to play his best golf to hold off the chasing pack, while Lowry and McIlroy know a low round could secure another prestigious victory in the Middle East.
