Adam Scott Tied Fourth at DP World Tour Championship After 67 — Nov. 15 Update

Verified and updated: Nov. 15, 2026, 1:20 a.m. UTC

Adam Scott surged into a share of fourth place at the DP World Tour Championship with a third-round 67 on Saturday, moving to five under par and four shots behind leader Tyrrell Hatton. Scott is tied with Rory McIlroy, Eugenio Chacarra and Francesco Laporta; Hatton leads on nine under, with Victor Perez one stroke back. The final round is scheduled for Sunday at the Earth Course in Dubai, so Scott remains within reach but needs a strong closing round and help from the players ahead. RTÉ’s round-three leaderboard lists Scott at 71-73-67 for 211 total, while the Emirates News Agency reported Hatton’s one-shot lead after Saturday’s play.

What is Adam Scott’s score and leaderboard position?

Through three rounds, Scott is four under in his Saturday round and five under for the tournament, with rounds of 71, 73 and 67. The 67 was his best round of the week so far and lifted him into a four-way tie for fourth. The leaderboard has a clear leading pair: Hatton at nine under and Perez at eight under. Scott and his co-players in fourth are four strokes behind the lead entering Sunday.

The event runs Nov. 12–15 at Jumeirah Golf Estates’ Earth Course in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, as identified by Golf Channel’s tournament listing. Dubai uses Gulf Standard Time (GST, UTC+04:00); that is the venue’s local time reference for the final day. The current leaderboard snapshot here is from the completed third round, not live Sunday scoring.

How did Scott move into contention?

Scott’s 67 was a five-under round and a substantial improvement on Friday’s 73. It changed his position from outside the leading group to a tie for fourth, putting him among the names with a realistic chance to pressure the leaders. His opening 71 leaves him at 211 total strokes after 54 holes. As a three-round snapshot, it does not establish how he will perform on Sunday or whether the leaders will drop shots.

Scott is sharing the position with McIlroy, Chacarra and Laporta, which makes the group behind Hatton and Perez particularly crowded. The immediate story for Australian fans is the veteran’s move up the board: he has converted a difficult second round into a low third round and enters the final day four shots back. The next change that matters is whether he can keep scoring at or better than Saturday’s pace while the front pair defend their advantage.

What could Scott’s position mean for Sunday?

A four-shot deficit is challenging over one round, but it leaves Scott close enough that a fast start could bring him into the title conversation. That is a conditional outlook, not a prediction: the actual result depends on Scott’s own score and the play of Hatton, Perez and the other contenders. A strong round could improve his finish even if the leaders remain steady; another low round would likely be needed if he is to win.

The DP World Tour Championship is the season-ending event, and the tournament leaderboard is separate from the Race to Dubai standings. Chacarra is both in the tie for fourth and part of the season-long points contest, while McIlroy is also in the final-day field. Their tournament scores may affect the race, but Scott’s tied-fourth position alone does not determine the season title. The key verified update for Scott is simpler: a 67 moved him within four of the lead with 18 holes left.
