Jon Rahm holds a two-shot lead over Rory McIlroy heading into the final round of the Abu Dhabi Championship on Saturday, November 7, 2026. McIlroy rued a costly double-bogey during the third round that left him trailing the Spanish leader.

Rahm carded a solid round to sit at the top of the leaderboard, while McIlroy's mistake on the 16th hole proved pivotal. The Northern Irishman remains in contention but will need a strong finish on Sunday to catch Rahm.
