Lee Westwood takes Dubai lead

Lee Westwood will take a one-shot lead into the final 18 holes at the Dubai Desert Classic.

The Englishman carded a five-under-par 67 in round three at the Emirates Golf Club earlier today to open up a slender advantage.

Westwood, who teed off in a tie for seventh, converted six birdies on his way to the top of the leaderboard on 15-under.

His nearest challengers are Stephen Gallacher and Marcel Siem on 14-under.
