DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) Henrik Stenson birdied four of his last five holes for a 5-under 67 Saturday to maintain a one-shot lead after the third round of the season-ending World Tour Championship and close in on the European money title.
The Swede struggled earlier in the round, allowing Victor Dubuisson of France to catch up to him, but made three straight birdies from the 14th hole and then sank a tap-in birdie on the last for a 17-under total of 199.
Dubuisson is coming off his first European Tour victory at the Turkish Airlines Open and shot a 64 to sit alone in second place.
England's Ian Poulter (66) and Spain's Alejandro Canizares (70) shared third place, another three shots back.
Stenson is trying to become the first player to win the FedEx Cup and European money title in the same year. He came into the tournament leading the Race of Dubai, although Poulter is among the players who can still overtake him. So is Justin Rose, who was six shots back after a 68.
