Jonathan Caldwell within four of leaders ahead of Qatar Masters finale

Jonathan Caldwell is within four shots of the lead ahead of the final round at the Qatar Masters.

The Northern Irishman carded a second-round 71 to move into a tie for 11th on four under, while Dubliner Niall Kearney is one shot further back after a 72 at Doha Golf Club.

England's Matthew Jordan and Poland's Adrian Meronk, who are both seeking a maiden DP World Tour title, share the lead on eight under.

Jordan, 26, overcame extremely windy conditions to shoot a third-round 70, while Meronk posted a level-par 72.

Jordan made a slow start in tricky conditions, carding three bogeys and no birdies in a front-nine 39 before turning things around with five birdies down the stretch.

He told the DP World Tour's website: "It was stressful. How can it not be? It's just hard work, hard grind the whole time. The simple shots are really tough.

"So it was stressful but it's always very rewarding when you do well."

Kalle Samooja is one shot behind the co-leaders after producing a remarkable 66 earlier in the day.

Meanwhile, halfway leader Pablo Larrazabal is in a three-way tie for fourth on six under after following up a spotless front nine with a back-nine 40 which contained five bogeys.
