England's Georgia Hall will take a one-shot lead into the final round of the inaugural Fatima Bint Mubarak Ladies Open in Abu Dhabi.
Hall carded a third round of 67 in hot and breezy conditions at Saadiyat Beach Golf Club to reach 15 under par, with Australian Sarah Kemp on 14 under and England's Mel Reid and American Beth Allen a shot further back.
Halfway leader Olafia Kristinsdottir of Iceland struggled to a 74 to lie four shots off the lead alongside Finland's Minea Blomqvist, with England's Holly Clyburn and France's Gwladys Nocera on 10 under.
"After the great round yesterday I tried to forget about it and act like I just shot level par and I did that," said the 20-year-old Hall, who carded a course record of 64 on Thursday.
"I stayed patient on the front nine, because I had a silly three-putt from about 12 feet, but I'm happy with that five under (total) and looking forward to tomorrow."
Reid, a five-time winner on the Ladies European Tour, was annoyed to drop shots on the 15th and 18th in her 68, but said: "We're going to have to shoot a low one to give ourselves a chance but there are plenty of birdie opportunities so hopefully we can get off to a fast start again."
A bogey on the last was also costly for England's Annabel Dimmock, who had to settle for a 64 to equal Hall's course record.
