Victor Dubuisson surges ahead of world leaders into Turkish Airlines Open lead
French golfer Victor Dubuisson eclipsed world leaders Tiger Woods, Ian Poulter and Henrik Stenson in the Turkish Airlines Open by charging into a five-shot lead after the third round on Saturday.
Dubuisson took advantage of Woods' failure to repeat his outstanding 63 from Friday and a thrilling four-birdie start to power his way to a nine-under 63 for a 21-under total of 195 at the Montgomerie Maxx Royal course.
According to Sport24, 14-time Major winner Woods had to extricate himself from several awkward spots following some errant ball-striking, although he kept his title hopes alive by registering a face-saving 68 for 201, by rolling in a 20-foot birdie putt at the 18th, one behind second-placed Poulter (68).
Meanwhile, money-list leader Stenson, playing alongside Woods for the third day running, carded a 69 to share third position with the world number one, Frenchman Raphael Jacquelin (62) and Alejandro Canizares of Spain (66), the report added.
