The seven-way tie for the lead in Dubai includes defending champion Yuxin Lin of China and top-ranked amateur Keita Nakajima of Japan. Joining them at 67 is Lukas Michel of Australia. He won the U.S. Mid-Amateur two years ago. Lin is a junior at Florida trying to become the first three-time winner of the Asia-Pacific Amateur. Nakajima is also a 21-year-old in college who won a Japan Golf Tour event in September. The winner gets invited to the Masters and British Open next year.
