Rory McIlroy lost the lead at the DP World Tour Championship in Round 2, when he hit his third shot into the water at the par-5 18th and made double bogey.
He ran into some more trouble late on Saturday, but managed to recover and take a one-shot advantage into the final round in Dubai.
Battling with Sam Horsfield for the top spot, McIlroy's tee shot at the par-3 17th precariously stayed on the rocks and just out of the water hazard. After some deliberation with his caddie, Harry Diamond, McIlroy played his shot from the ball's resting spot.
