Here’s the prize money breakdown for each golfer at the 2026 Bapco Energies Bahrain Championship

The Scot, who began the day four shots clear of German Freddy Schott, managed to regroup following three early bogeys which saw playing partner Schott move two clear by the turn.

Back-to-back birdies at the 14th and 15th steadied the ship, as Hill carded a level par round of 72 to remain at 16 under par for the week and in pole position to secure a third DP World Tour title on Sunday.

For Schott, it was a tale of two nines. After four birdies on the front nine, the 24-year-old mixed a birdie with three dropped shots on the way home to sign for a two under par round of 70, however remains in contention for a breakthrough DP World Tour win.

Meanwhile, Patrick Reed carded a joint low-round-of-the day 66 to reach 12 under par and into a share of third place alongside Scotland’s Grant Forrest and Spaniard Sergio Garcia.

Reed, fresh off a win at last week’s Hero Dubai Desert Classic, recorded four birdies in his opening six holes, before mixing an eagle at the par five 13th with a birdie and a solitary bogey on the back nine.

Forrest joined Reed in third after an impressive 67 which featured six birdies and a bogey, while Garcia registered five birdies – including three in a row from the ninth – before he dropped his only shot of the day at the 16th for a four under par 68.

Garcia’s countrymen Nacho Elvira and Jorge Campillo were in the group at 11 under alongside Swede Mikael Lindberg and Englishman Ben Schmidt, with eight players one shot further back in a tie for tenth.
