Dubai Desert Classic Tee Times, Pairings For Third Round

The cut has been made and the field of 69 players will enter the weekend rounds of the Dubai Desert Classic with the $2.5 million purse on the line. The top of the leaderboard is tight entering the third round as Rory McIlroy leads the pack at 11-under. He’ll tee off at 3:45 a.m. EST with his round three playing partners, Sergio Garcia and Thomas Aiken, who both sit at 10-under. All together, there are eight players within four strokes of McIlroy and the lead, including Tiger Woods, who will tee off at 3:27 a.m. EST.

Golf fans hoping to follow this event live will have to pull an all nighter Friday, as the first group doesn’t tee off until 10:15 p.m. EST, and the final pairing will likely go well into Saturday morning before the third round is finished.
