Quiros leads the way

Big-hitting Spaniard Alvaro Quiros carded an eight-under-par 64 to head into the final round of the Qatar Masters with a one-stroke lead over South Africa's Louis Oosthuizen.

The 26-year-old Portugal Masters champion leapt to the top of the leaderboard on 16 under, while halfway pace-setter Oosthuizen carded a solid 69 to remain in the hunt for his maiden European Tour title.

Holland's Maarten Lafeber and 2006 Qatar champion Henrik Stenson sit tied for third at 12 under after recording 66s.

Inaugural tournament champion Andrew Coltart (70), who began the day three shots behind Oosthuizen in second, is at 11 under after finishing strongly with two birdies in three holes.

"I'm very happy," said Quiros. "I worked hard last week and it looks like the scores are starting to come."

World number two Sergio Garcia, Lee Westwood and Australia's Aaron Baddeley all carded third-round 67s to move up into a group at nine under.
