Pádraig Harrington sits five shots off the lead at the Aviv Dubai Championship after signing off for a third round 67 - the second time in as many days he has shot a round of five under.

Harrington’s round got off to a slightly shaky start with a dropped shot at the par three second, but birdies at five and seven ensured that he took the turn at one under for the day.

Further shots were picked up at 12, 13, 15 and 16 in a bogey-free back nine, before back-to-back pars saw Harrington finish on 14-under for the tournament.

Now sitting in a tie for 10th alongside Paul Casey and Edoardo Molinari amongst others, Harrington remains on course for the top-10 finish he needs to qualify for the DP World Tour Championship.
