KING ABDULLAH ECONOMIC CITY, Saudi Arabia – Haotong Li of China made four eagles, including two in his last two holes, to share the lead with Dustin Johnson at the Saudi International on Saturday at the end of a third round in which Sergio Garcia was disqualified for damaging two greens.
Li’s 8-under 62 – which also included a double bogey – finished with him driving the green at the 17th to set up a 6-foot putt for eagle before making a 3 at the par-5 18th.
Three of his eagles came on par 4s.
