McGinley saves best till last

Paul McGinley, seeking his first win since he holed the winning putt in the Ryder Cup two years ago, chipped in at the last to regain a share of the lead with a round to go in the Dubai Desert Classic.

Mark O’Meara, whose last official tour victory was the 1998 Open at Birkdale, looked set to top the leaderboard on his own after a hat-trick of birdies late in the third round.
