Jason Scrivener and Min Woo Lee have faltered in their push to hit the jackpot at the Dubai Desert Classic - but a trans-Tasman neighbour, Kiwi Daniel Hillier, is dreaming of a "life-changing" win at the Emirates Golf Club.
Scrivener, third overnight, and danger man Lee both shifted direction the wrong way on Saturday's moving day, as their disappointing over-par rounds left them in joint-12th position, seven shots behind the New Zealand leader Hillier on the difficult, blustery Majlis course.
It will take a monumental effort to drag themselves into the mix in the iconic European tour event, but for world No.223 Hillier, opportunity really knocks as he holds a one-stroke advantage over Britain's Ryder Cup star Tyrrell Hatton going in to the final round.
