Abu Dhabi Championship

Paul Casey's 63 gives him

four-shot lead with

one round to go

FROM THE A O L GOLF NEWS SERVICE
Paul Casey and Martin Kaymer, the last two winners of the Abu Dhabi Championship, will go head to head in the final group of the final round on Sunday.
But whereas Kaymer was six clear with a round to go last year, this time the 24-year-old German trails Casey by four.
The Ryder Cup star's bid to end two full years without a victory anywhere - he has had no fewer than 15 top-10 finishes in between - saw him come within a stroke of the course record with a dazzling nine-under-par 63 in the third round today.
So Kaymer, despite a 65, was further behind at the end of the day than he was at the start of it.
Casey is at 19 under par 197 - he won the event with 17 under in 2007 - with Kaymer 15-under 201 and joint halfway leader Graeme Storm (69) one stroke further back on 202.
Open and US PGA champion Padraig Harrington had a 68, but now finds himself eight behind, while world No 2 Sergio Garcia is 11 adrift after a 67.

Stephen Gallacher, who had a 65 for 205, is the top Scot in joint fifth place.

Next come Marc Warren (70) and Colin Montgomery (70), joint 28th on the 209 mark, one shot ahead of Alastair Forsyth who had a 69 for a share of 33rd place.
Paul Lawrie had a 68 for 211 and a share of 39th place.

David Drysdale is on level par 216 after a moderate 74 today.
