LEAD CHANGES HANDS AT ARAB GOLF CHAMPIONSHIPS

Egypt’s Issa Abu Al Ella has moved into the lead after day three of the 37th Arab Golf Championship taking place on the Ayla Golf Course in Aqaba.

Abu Al Ella shot a solid round of one-under par, 71, to move to the top of the leaderboard, after overnight leader Dahmane Soufiane, from Morocco, shot a 75 to slip down to third.

Another Moroccan, Omar Ayoung lies second, three shots off the lead after his third round 72. Jordan’s young star Shergo Kurdi struggled with a back injury but still shot a three-over par round of 75 to remain inside the top 10, just seven shots off the lead.

Morocco remain in charge of the team event, with Tunisia and Egypt in second and third respectively. Jordan are still in eighth.
