The penultimate DP World Tour of the season enters the final round with Paul Waring at the top of the leaderboard.
The Englishman got off to a blistering start at Yas Links with rounds of eight-under and 11-under in the first two days. On Saturday, his progress was checked with a one-over 73, but he still heads into the final round at 18-under for the tournament, one ahead of Niklas Norgaard and three in front of Shane Lowry.
The three are the final group to head out, with a tee time of 2.20am ET (7.20am GMT).
Immediately before them, with a tee time of 2.09am ET (7.09am GMT), is the group featuring Tommy Fleetwood, Sebastian Soderberg and Thorbjorn Olesen.
Fleetwood in particular will be confident of clawing back the deficit on the leader having won the event twice in the past. He's three off Waring ahead of the final round.
The competitors are battling for a place in the top 50 of the Race to Dubai rankings to make the line-up for the season-closing DP World Tour Championship at the Earth Course at Jumeirah Golf Estates.
One player with no concerns over his involvement is Rory McIlroy, who is in pole position to be crowned Race to Dubai champion for the sixth time. He begins the final round on 13-under and is grouped with LIV Golf's Joaquin Niemann and 2021 D+D Real Czech Masters champion Johannes Veerman. The three begin at 1.15am ET (6.15am GMT).
