SA’s Oliver Bekker brings it on moving day at Ras al Khaimah Championship

Johannesburg — South Africa’s Oliver Bekker fired a superb six-under 66 to keep his name in contention in fourth place in round three of the Ras al Khaimah Championship, at Al Hamra GC, in the United Arab Emirates, on Saturday.

Bekker moved to 16-under for the three rounds, four behind Denmark’s Nicolai Hojgaard who leads the way on 20-under. Scotland’s David Law is second on 17-under, while Finland’s Tapio Pulkkanen is third on 16-under.

The 37-year-old who is seeking his first DP World Tour (DPWT) victory, reeled off an incredible six birdies in a row from the third hole to go out in six-under. However, Bekker could not manage any further gains as he made 12 pars in total for a bogey-free round.
