DAVID LAW POISED FOR VICTORY PUSH OVER FINAL ROUND IN DUBAI

David Law shot a two-under-par 70 to keep alive his prospects of winning the MENA Tour's Dubai Open with a final round surge on Wednesday.
The 22-year-old Aberdonian is on eight-under-par 136, level with Roland Spencer (Austria) and England's Zane Scotland, who had a hole in one in his first round, and two shots behind leader Jake Shepherd who is on 10-under 134 after a 69 which included double bogeys at the second and fifth or else he might have had an unassailable lead.
Law birdied the fourth, seventh, eighth and 17th, bogeying the third and 14th.
Scot Tom Buchanan, who is now based at Al Ain, UAE, part of the Abu Dhabi Emirate, and Grantown on Spey's Duncan Stewart matched the lowest second-round score, a 68. Buchanan is joint 11th on 140.
Stewart is tied 16th on 141 after a round which included eight birdies but also four bogeys.
