Mit der Omega Dubai Desert Classic geht der Desert Swing auf der European Tour in die dritte und letzte Runde. Im Emirates Golf Club trifft sich die Elite des Golfsports, inklusive neun Ryder Cuppern und fünf deutschen Spielern. Im prominentesten Flight der ersten beiden Runden kommt es dabei zu einem Aufeinandertreffen von Martin Kaymer und Rory McIlroy. Die beiden aktuellen Majorsieger gehen am Donnerstag um 05:05 Uhr deutscher Zeit zusammen mit dem Engländer Andy Sullivan auf die Runde (Freitag um 09:25 Uhr).
Ebenfalls in einem starken "Nachbarschafts-Flight" landete Marcel Siem, der nach dem verpassten Cut von Qatar auf Wiedergutmachung aus sein dürfte. Zusammen mit Bernd Wiesberger aus Österreich und Joost Luiten aus den Niederlanden startet Siem die Herrausforderung Omega Dubai Desert Classic (Donnerstag um 09:35 / Freitag um 05:15 Uhr).
Des Weiteren schlägt Maximilian Kieffer an der Seite von Sören Kjeldsen (DEN) und Matthew Nixon (ENG) ab (05:35 Uhr und 09:55 Uhr). Moritz Lampert spielt zusammen mit Bradley Dredge (WAL) sowie Jordi Garcia Pinto (ESP), Dominic Foos derweil mit Matthew Fitzpatrick (ENG) und Renato Paratore (ITA).
