A bogey-free third round at the Qatar Masters Saturday saw American Patrick Reed open up a two-shot lead heading into the final round, keeping himself firmly in contention for a second victory in three weeks.Reed sits at 14-under-par after carding a two-under 70 at Doha Golf Club. Denmark’s Jacob Olesen is his closest challenger on 12 under, having produced the standout round of the day among the pursuers. Olesen fired a four-under 68, highlighted by a blistering back nine that featured five birdies.“I felt like I hit the ball better today than I did the last two days – well, really compared to Saturday, and shot two shots worse, so it’s an interesting game,” Reed said.“The golf game feels good, it feels solid, it feels steady and really just got to go out there and keep the foot on the gas tomorrow, get off to hopefully a faster start than today, and see where it goes.”Reed’s birdies at the second and the par-five tenth were backed up by 16 pars in a solid round despite a three-putt from just under 100 feet at the last hole after finding the green in two.“It’s one of those days you’ve got to take advantage of the par-fives, I didn’t really do that very well today. A three-putt on the last obviously stings but to go round this place bogey-free, especially with how the wind was, it’s obviously successful,” the 2018 Masters champion said.Reed won the Dubai Desert Classic last month and then lost in play-off at Bahrain Championship last week as Germany’s Freddy Schott claimed a maiden victory. The American, now playing regularly on the European-based circuit after leaving LIV Golf with a return to the PGA Tour not possible until August.“Hopefully we can continue to do that tomorrow, continue hitting the ball solid and giving ourselves a lot of birdie looks, and hopefully make a couple more than just two tomorrow,” the 35-year-old said.Reed's playing partner Joakim Lagergren slipped off the pace slightly with a one-over par 73 seeing him fall back to 10-under. Bogeys for Lagergren at the 11th, 14th and 16th left him four off the pace going, meaning Olesen will play with Reed in today’s final group.The left-hander Olesen was one over for his front nine but five birdies coming home, including three in the last four holes, put him in contention for his maiden DP World Tour win.“It was a grind on the front nine, couldn't really get anything going, didn't hit any good shots at all either,” said Olesen.“I hit a good wedge in on ten after a poor drive. It's not really the pin position where you want to be stuck with a wedge out the first cut, but hit a good one in there and rolled one in. That got me back to level and I kind of knew it wasn't playing that easy so I knew I wasn't in a terrible spot, just needed to get something going,” the Dane said.Australia’s Daniel Hillier and Spain’s Angel Ayora are joint third on 11 under, while Scotland's Calum Hill - the third member of last week's play-off in Bahrain with Reed and Schott - and England's Daniel Bradbury are in a six-way tie for ninth on nine under.Sebastian Soderberg from Sweden, posted the best round of the day - a seven-under 65 that included an eagle two at the 10th to reach nine under. Alongside them on that total were Dan Bradbury, Kazuma Kobori and Johannes Veerman.Padraig Harrington carded a one-under par 71 to sit on four-under overall in tied-34th. The Dubliner, who is making his 500th start on the tour, recorded birdies on the first, sixth, 10th and 14th holes with dropped strokes on the eighth, 13th, and the par-5 18th.
