ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates, Jan. 17 (UPI) -- Englishman Paul Casey charged ahead in the third round of the Abu Dhabi Golf Championship Saturday, firing a 9-under-par 63 for a four-shot lead.

Casey, an eight-time winner on the European Tour, was at 19-under 197 after a round that was bogey-free.

"I think it's always enjoyable to shoot 63, " Casey said.

Defending champion Martin Kaymer of Germany shot a 65 for a total of 201.

England's Graeme Storm and Anthony Wall carded 69s to share third place, another stroke back.

Both the second round, which had been delayed by rough weather, and the third round were completed Saturday.
