Dubai, United Arab Emirates (SportsNetwork.com) - Rory McIlroy recorded his second straight bogey-free round on Saturday and his 6-under 66 on day three has moved him four shots clear heading into the final round of the Omega Dubai Desert Classic. McIlroy finished his third round at 20-under-par 196, which is four strokes better than Morten Orum Madsen. McIlroy has nine career wins on the European Tour, with four of them coming last season. The five-time major champion earned his first professional victory at this event back in 2009. To be bogey-free again today was important to me, especially when youre going out with the lead, said McIlroy. Im very happy. I feel like I could be a little bit more but Im not going to complain. Im four ahead going into the final day, so Ive put myself in a great position to win tomorrow. After shooting a 63 on Friday, Madsen matched McIlroy with a 66 of his own on day three and moved into sole possession of second place at 16-under 200. Two shots further back is 23-time tour winner Lee Westwood (69) at 14-under 202. Two-time defending champion Stephen Gallacher, first-round leader Bernd Wiesberger, Andy Sullivan and Danny Willett all fired matching, 2-under 70s and are tied for fourth at 13-under 203. McIlroy, last years British Open and PGA Championship winner, started the day with a 1-shot lead and quickly widened the gap. The 25-year-old Ulsterman jumped out to a fast start when he drained birdies on one, three and five to go along with pars on two, four and six. Following the par on No. 6, McIlroy poured in back-to-back gains on seven and eight before finishing his front nine with a par on nine. Making the turn with a 4-shot lead, it seemed as if McIlroy would extend his advantage even more on the back nine, but he slowed down a bit down the stretch. McIlroy made eight straight pars from No. 9 and saw his lead whittled down to three when Madsen birdied the last. McIlroy broke the par streak when he drained a birdie putt from about 15 feet on the par-4 17th, moving his advantage back to four. Now on the par-5 18th, a hole he had birdied in 14 of his last 18 rounds prior to Saturday, McIlroy found the water with his second shot and was in danger of making bogey. McIlroy remained calm, however, as his fourth shot landed about 10 feet from the hole and he knocked that in for par to make it 36 straight holes without a bogey. Not to make any mistakes makes it that much harder for anyone else, McIlroy said. Just to get that up-and-down on the last was big for momentum going into tomorrow ... I just have to go and try and play similar golf to the way I have the first three days. Madsen, who holds the weeks low round with his 63 Friday, also went bogey- free and may stand the best chance of catching McIlroy on Sunday. Madsen started with a pair of pars on one and two before making his first birdie on No. 3. He then wrapped four more pars on four, five, seven and eight around a gain on No. 6. The 26-year-old from Denmark made the turn in style with back-to-back birdies on nine and 10. Following his fifth gain of the day on 13, Madsen rattled off four straight pars from 14 before closing with a birdie at the last to pull within three of McIlroy at the time. Three shots behind McIlroy to start the day, Westwood had a strong start to his round before struggling a bit in the middle. Westwood made a pair of birdies on two and three, but he made a mess of No. 9 and settled for double- bogey as the Englishman made the turn at even par. A birdie on 10 got Westwood back into red figures and he traded a bogey on 12 for a birdie on 13. Westwood finished well to give himself an outside shot going into Sunday as three pars from 14 preceded back-to-back birdies on 17 and 18, putting him six strokes behind McIlroy. NOTES: McIlroys last bogey came on the par-4 ninth hole, his last, in the first round ... McIlroy finished his third round just one shot off of Gallachers 54-hole record of 195. Gallacher also tied the tournament record of 266 that year in his first of two consecutive victories here ... McIlroy has finished runner-up in each of the last four events he has played in ... Madsen is seeking his second victory on tour, with his lone win coming at the South African Open Championship last season ... Westwoods last win was at the Maybank Malaysian Open last year.

MONTREAL -- Its time to see how the Montreal Impact respond to this weeks front office shakeup. The last-place Impact (3-12-5) face rival Toronto FC at Saputo Stadium on Saturday evening in its first game since owner and president Joey Saputo removed his friend Nick De Santis as sporting director and gave head coach Frank Klopas full control of the squad. Toronto (7-7-5) is looking to snap out of a mid-season funk that has seen it go 0-2-2 in its last four games and 2-3-4 in its last nine as it struggles to hold onto a playoff spot in Major League Soccers Eastern Conference. Catch the coverage live on TSN at 4:30pm et/1:30pm pt. You can also listen live on TSN 1050 Toronto and TSN 690 Montreal. "When you dont have good seasons, you have to expect a lot of things," Impact captain Patrice Bernier said this week. "We have 14 games left to save pride for ourselves, the team and the fans. "We need to show that (while) were having a bad season, were a quality team with quality players." The scheduling change makes it TFCs third game in an eight-day span, including last weeks 2-1 loss at home to Kansas City and a 3-0 road setback to D.C. United on Wednesday. Beset by fans and media as the losses piled up this season, Saputo acted on Wednesday, giving Klopas full power over personnel decisions through the end of the 2015 season. It will be up to the former Chicago Fire boss to shape the team and get positive results over the last three months of the regular season games and in the Champions League. "Its about taking one game at a time now; its difficult to talk about the goals we had early on because you have to reassess," Klopas said. "This game obviously means a lot. "Its a big rivalry. Its a derby. But were excited. Were at home. Theres a certain incentive." Klopas was surprised to see De Santis moved to an administrative job. The former Impact player, coach and manager was a big supporter when former U.S. international forward Klopas was named Montreals third coach is as many seasons last winter. Klopas had already made a few moves this season, including one in May that sent midfielder Collen Warner to Toronto for midfielder Issey Nakajima-Farran. It remains to be seen if Warner will start in his return to Saputo Stadium. Another move came Tuesday, when midfielder-forward Sanna Nyassi went to Chicago for midfielder Dilly Duka, a Klopas favourite who was little-used by new Fire boss Frank Yallop. The 24-year-old Duka arrived just afterr Saputos announcement to a team still digesting the De Santis news.dddddddddddd He seemed bewildered, but he was glad to play for Klopas again. "Our relationship was good in the past," said Duka. "Coming back and playing for him will be a good transition, and Im looking forward to working with the players Montreal has." The deal had been in the works for several weeks, but could not be completed until Nyassi was ready to return from an ankle injury. Klopas describes Duka as an attacking midfielder who can play on the left side, in the middle or just behind the striker. "Hes a kind of player in the final third that I wanted to bring here," said Klopas. "Hes young, so we can have continuity. We dont have to make changes every year. "Hes a very good player off the dribble. Hes dangerous in the open filed. He shoots with both feet and hes dangerous around the box. He brings another dimension with his pace and his ability to beat players." New designated player Ignacio Piatti, who is set to join the Impact from Argentina next week, is also an attacking midfielder, so it will be interesting to see what affect that will have on the minutes played by those currently in those positions, like Felipe Martins and Andres Romero. But the Impact has five league games and two CONCACAF matches in August, so depth will be tested and they should all get playing time. Toronto also has depth issues with right back Mark Bloom (knee) and centre back and captain Steven Caldwell (quad) out of the lineup. The team led by U.S. international midfielder Michael Bradley and former Tottenham star Jermain Defoe had 14 shots but failed to score against D.C., while a young defence conceded three goals. It is the second of a four-game road string for Toronto, which is tied with New England and Columbus on 26 points with two games in hand on each. But sixth-place New York is only one point back in a tight race to finish in the top five and make the playoffs. They could breath easier with three points against a last-place team. As coach Ryan Nelsen put it after the loss at D.C.: "Montreal has become a must-win game for us now." Montreal, which has lost five in row, is less concerned with the playoffs now as it is about turning around a disastrous campaign.The game was originally scheduled for Sunday, but was moved up a day to allow Montreal a breather ahead of its CONCACAF Champions League match Tuesday night against FAS of El Salvador.
