From European Tour News:
Lucas Herbert will take a one shot lead into the final round of the 2021 Dubai Duty Free Irish Open after Johannes Veerman trimmed his lead on day three at Mount Juliet Estate.
The Australian was two ahead at the start of the weekend and extended that advantage to three shots just after the turn before two bogeys on the back nine saw him sign for a 70 and sit at 15 under.
That opened the door for American Veerman, who carded a 67 to be the nearest challenger, two shots clear of South African Justin Harding, whose 65 was the lowest round of the day. Read more
