Tom Watson shot 71 to trail the leaders by nine strokes.</p><p>Despite being joined by some of golf's biggest names atop the leaderboard, Thongchai said he liked his chances ahead of Sunday's final round.</p><p>"I am confident I can win here," the 41-year-old former Thai army paratrooper said. "In today's round, I did not hit many greens over the first nine holes, only four in regulation, but I only had 10 putts. If I hit more fairways and greens in the final round then I will score better, and I know I am capable of that."</p><p>Westwood is looking for another title in the desert, after winning the Dubai World Championship in November.</p><p>"If the weather stays calm as it did for the third round it's going to be a birdie feast," Westwood said.</p><p>Quiros said learned a lot when partnering the 60-year-old Tom Watson during the first two days.</p><p>"Tom is a very smart player," Quiros said. "He's is a very clever player and even at 60 years old that still makes him competitive. Playing with him, he made three very smart lay-ups instead of going for greens. But with my length, I find it very difficult not to go for everything even when I am in the rough. ... It's something I am having to learn."</p><img src="http://admatch-syndication.mochila.com/images/ad.gif?aid=68566972&bid=informcom" /></div><div id="copyright"><div>
