Patrick Reed holds a commanding four-shot lead heading into the final round of the Hero Dubai Desert Classic. He sits at -14, with Spain's Puig in second at -10. Reigning champion Tyrrell Hatton and Ryder Cup star Rory McIlroy are both struggling, sitting at -2 and -3 respectively after frustrating rounds.

McIlroy, a four-time winner here, failed to capitalize on an eagle opportunity at the par-five 13th and looks set for his first finish outside the top ten since 2008. Conditions are testing the field, with only a few players under par for the day as a stiff breeze makes scoring difficult.

Reed, a former Masters champion, starts the day in control after a steady opening tee shot. The chasing pack, including Frenchman Julien Guerrier who made an early eagle, will need a historic collapse from Reed to claim the title. All eyes are on Dubai as the tournament concludes.
