DOHA, Qatar -- Henrik Stenson of Sweden shot a 6-under 66 on Saturday in the Qatar Masters to take a two-stroke lead over Niclas Fasth and Richard Green, while Ernie Els was five strokes behind.

Fasth of Sweden carded a 69 in the third round and Green of Australia had a 73 at the 7,311-yard Doha Golf Club. Els, the only top-50 player in the event, posted a second straight 69.

"That's the best I have played all week," said Els, who shot a first-round 73. "The flags are difficult. They've got them in a lot of corners, difficult places and it's hard to make birdies. I think it's almost impossible to go very low here."

Stenson, who is based in nearby Dubai, had five birdies on the back nine to take the lead with a three-day total of 10-under 206.

"It certainly put me in a good position and lot can happen," Stenson said. "But I've certainly got a good chance now."
