Having started the day just three off the lead, Peter Lawrie has drifted out of contention on day three at the Qatar Masters.

The Castleknock man reached the clubhouse on 5-under par after shooting a lacklustre 73 today.

Both Damien McGrane and Michael Hoey went around in 74, to finish on 2-under.

Leading the way in a four-way tie on 12-under at Doha Golf Club are Austrian Bernd Wiesberger, Marc Warren of Scotland , Argentine Emiliano Grillo and Branden Grace of South Africa.

Grace and his compatriot George Coetzee had shared the overnight lead with Wiesberger.
