DUBAI, United Arab Emirates - Rory McIlroy extended his lead to four shots with a 6-under 66 in the third round of the Dubai Desert Classic on Saturday.The top-ranked McIlroy, who led by a stroke overnight, made just one birdie on the back nine of Emirates Golf Clubs Majlis course after five birdies in his first eight holes.With an overall 20-under 196, McIlroy can challenge the tournament winning record of 22 under, set by Stephen Gallacher in 2013 and Thomas Bjorn in 2001.Denmarks Morten Orum Madsen, who shot a 9-under 63 on Friday, was second after a 66 with six birdies.Englands Lee Westwood (69) was third at 14-under 202, six shots adrift of McIlroy.Defending champion Gallacher survived bogeys in the opening nine before hitting three birdies on the back nine. The Scot is tied for fourth at 203 alongside Englands Andy Sullivan and Danny Willett (70), and Austrias Bernd Wiesberger, after all four shot 70.McIlroy could do no wrong in his first eight holes as he birdied Nos. 1, 3, 5, 7 and 8. And then golf showed him all its quirks on the 10th.At the 549-yard par-5 hole, the Northern Irishman smashed a drive that went a massive 380 yards. But McIlroy could not birdie the hole as his effort from less than two feet spun out of the hole.I didnt put a foot wrong on the front nine and, when I missed that little short putt on 10, it seemed like that momentum I had just sort of went away and had to scramble a little bit for pars coming in, McIlroy said.He finally got a birdie again on the 17th, where he made an 18-footer, but needed to scramble to save par on the final hole after hitting his 4-iron second from 205 yards into the water guarding the front of the green.It was nice to make one birdie on 17 and then a great save on the last. It was nice to go out there today with no bogeys, McIlroy said. I was just trying to get as many in front as I can.As McIlroy surged, his closest rivals fell away on moving day and the 194th-ranked Madsen has the unenviable task of attempting to reel in the four-time major champion on Sunday.I was nice and calm all the way and putted well and hit the ball solid, Madsen said. I wasnt really in any major trouble, so that was nice.The $2.5 million tournament forms the closing leg of the three-stop Desert Swing of the European Tour.

Four years ago an inexperienced Northern Ireland side were on the end of a 6-0 drubbing by the Netherlands, who were preparing for Euro 2012.It was early in Michael ONeills reign and the game had been arranged before he arrived. A sea of orange and carnival atmosphere greeted the players at the Amsterdam Arena as a rampant Arjen Robben, Wesley Sneijder and Robin van Persie gave their supporters a perfect send-off. Robin van Persie celebrates with teammate Ibrahim Afellay during the Netherlands 6-0 win over Northern Ireland in a 2012 friendly Who would have thought that in 2016 it would be Northern Ireland competing on Europes biggest stage with the Dutch nowhere in sight? As ONeills side prepare to play on home soil for the final time before a historic first European Championships, four players in particular may get more of an ovation that most. Roy Carroll (38), Gareth McAuley (36), Chris Baird (34), and Aaron Hughes (36) may decide that Euro 2016 is the perfect way to bring down the curtain on their international careers, and while none of them have publicly revealed if that is the case, McAuley has suggested he will speak to ONeill after the tournament. Should Friday be the night Windsor Park witnesses them in a Northern Ireland shirt for the last time, all four can bow out of Belfast knowing they played key roles in qualifying.Carroll, who was brought back into the international set-up by ONeill after a six-year hiatus, saved a penalty at home to the Faroe Islands at a time the visitors were threatening to get back into the game.

He scored vital goals and was an integral part of the defence. Having recently signed a contract extension to stay at the Hawthorns, he may see Euro 2016 as the perfect way to end his international career - and what a loss he will be.If Hughes plays against Belarus he will win his 99th cap and could reach 100 in Slovakia. Hughes is Northern Irelands most capped outfield player. Only Pat Jennings has played more. Aaron Hughes (L) holds off Pall Klettskard off the Faroe Islands during a Euro 2016 qualifier He retired from international football in 2011 but ONeill talked him round. The former Newcastle and Fulham centre-back was an influential figure in the early part of the campaign when NI won their first three games.Baird was a revelation in the qualifying campaign, providing excellent cover in front of the back four. His passion for the shirt has been evident over the years and at 34, he may yet feel he has one more campaign in him. At a sold-out Windsor Park on Friday, there will be flags, colour and noise on what will be a proud night for the second smallest populated Euro 2016 nation.McAuley, Hughes, Baird and Carroll can expect more - the adulation of an adoring crowd for years of dedicated service to Northern Irish football.
