6/1 Wilson holds Doha advantage - (2026)

Oliver Wilson (6/1 to win Qatar Masters) will take a one-shot lead into the final round of the Qatar Masters after birdieing his final hole of the day on Saturday.

The Englishman signed for a third-round score of 69 to take him on to 10-under-par for the tournament. He is now well positioned to claim what would be just his second European Tour title, following on from his victory at the 2014 Alfred Dunhill Links Championship.

The 38-year-old, who narrowly missed out on securing his tour card last season, admitted after his round that he was delighted to be in contention for overall glory, particularly given that windy conditions have made low scoring difficult all week in Doha.

“I’m delighted quite frankly, it’s hard out there,” he was quoted as saying by Sky Sports. “It’s really hard to get it close even from the fairways with the wind.”

Wilson birdied two of his final four holes on Saturday to move into the outright lead and was pleased he was able to produce such a strong finish.

“The last four holes I suddenly found something and hit good shots all the way in,” the world number 179 added. “Maybe it’s a bit of maturity or something, I don’t know, but I’m really pleased that I allowed that to happen. Sometimes it’s easy to lose your head a little bit.”

Australian Nick Cullen (11/1 to win event), Spaniard Nacho Elvira (10/1), Frenchman Mike Lorenzo-Vera (6/1) and South African Erik van Rooyen (15/2) are Wilson’s nearest rivals. They are just a shot behind the leader on nine-under, with a group of four players a further stroke back.

Odds subject to change.
