Jon Rahm chartered a plane for stranded competitors

When his fellow golfers were stranded in the Middle East, former world number one Jon Rahm chartered a plane. One of the players who got a seat on the plane was Belgian Thomas Detry, who now shares the lead with Spain's Jon Rahm after three rounds of play in the LIV Golf event in Hong Kong.

"If it hadn't been for him, I don't think I would have been here," says Detry.

To join the trip, Detry had to travel about 450 kilometers from Dubai, United Arab Emirates, to Muscat, Oman.

A total of eight LIV players were on board the plane. In addition to Detry, Lee Westwood, Sam Horsfield and Adrian Meronk were also on board.

Harold Varner III also shares the lead at 17 under par heading into Sunday's final round.
