KING ABDULLAH ECONOMIC CITY, Saudi Arabia – Harold Varner III birdied the par-5 18th hole on Saturday to shoot a 2-under 68 and take a one-stroke lead over Adri Arnaus into the final round of the Saudi International.

Defending champion Dustin Johnson was five strokes back at the Asian Tour event, which paid big appearance fees to lure a slew of PGA Tour and DP World Tour regulars.

Varner, a 31-year-old American and one of those PGA Tour members, eagled the par-5 fourth hole and mixed three birdies with as many bogeys for a 54-hole total of 12-under 198 at Royal Greens Golf and Country Club.
