World number one Dustin Johnson will take a two-shot lead into the final round as he bids to win the Saudi International for the second time in three years. Ireland’s Shane Lowry is six under par overall after a second three under par 67 in succession. Cormac Sharvin is one shot further back after a four under 66, while Graeme McDowell is three over par after a disappointing third round. After completing the final four holes of round two in one under par, Johnson began the third round a shot off the lead shared by Ryan Fox and Stephen Gallacher. Gallacher’s third round of 72 left him on eight under alongside Justin Rose, with Ian Poulter and US Open champion Bryson DeChambeau a shot further back.
