Swede Stenson smashes course record
ABU DHABI, Jan 21: Sweden’s Henrik Stenson broke the course record when he fired a 10-under-par 62 to claim a one-stroke lead after the third round of the inaugural Abu Dhabi Golf Championship on Saturday.
On a calm, sunny day, five players eclipsed the two-day old course record of 66 and it was the Dubai-based Stenson who benefited most as he finished with a 16-under tally of 200, one ahead of American Chris DiMarco (63).
Spain’s Miguel Angel Jimenez (64) was a further shot adrift on 202, with Argentina’s Ricardo Gonzalez (67) and overnight leader Charl Schwartzel (68) of South Africa tied for fourth on 203 at the Abu Dhabi Golf Club.
