Rasmus Højgaard is looking forward to a Danish battle with compatriot Thorbjørn Olesen in the final round of the Ras Al Khaimah Championship on Sunday.
Højgaard, seeking a fifth DP World Tour title, will have to reel in Olesen after the latter surged four shots clear with a brilliant 63 on Saturday.
However, three birdies in a flawless inward 33 have kept the 22-year-old well in contention.
“(The par putt on 18) was very important,” Højgaard said after signing for a 68.
“My last two holes… I played them not exactly how you would want to. But I managed to hole two very good putts and I feel like I’ve given myself a chance for tomorrow.
“I played okay today. A couple of bad shots here and there.
“It was nice to make some birdies on the back nine and I still feel like I’m in contention.
“I see the leaderboards out there, just trying to play catch up with him and not fall too far behind. It’s nice to see Thorbjørn playing well and it’s nice that we can go out there tomorrow and battle it out.”
