Golf News : Herbert leads Veerman by one-shot going into final round at Irish Open

Australian Lucas Herbert will take a one-shot lead into the final round of the Dubai Duty Free Irish Open after a day that saw major champions Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry fall by the wayside. Herbert has been the star of the show in County Kilkenny, leading after every round so far, but it has been local hero Lowry and Northern Ireland's McIlroy who have taken the crowds with them as fans returned to the fairways in the British Isles for the first time since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic. But while Lowry and McIlroy both moved backwards in the cold and rainy early conditions on day three, Herbert carded a 70 to get to 15 under and lead the way from American Johannes Veerman. South African Justin Harding carded the lowest round of the day with a 65 to get to 12 under, one clear of England'sDale Whitnell, Swede Rikard Karlberg and Italian Francesco Laporta. McIlroy and Lowry were 11 and 12 shots off the lead respectively.
