Paul Casey produced a stunning birdie-eagle finish in a bogey free round of 64 to take a one shot lead into the final day of the Omega Dubai Desert Classic.

\u201cIt’s a glorious finish. I said to Johnny on the fairway there, that was a cool-looking shot when Monty hit a driver off the deck without the skyline you get now, and it might be cooler now with the skyline. It’s one of the iconic shots in golf, isn’t it. To have a perfect three iron in there and finish off with an eagle is pretty cool. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI mean, you can never say flawless, can you, because there’s always errors but it was very controlled. Really enjoyable round of golf, challenging yet at the same time with a little bit of wind here and there. I’ve been very fortunate. The strong asset I have in this game is the way I drive it, the length. The game has gone more and more towards length, and I’m fortunate that I’m still able to lean on that strength and compete out here.”
