Rory McIlroy sits three off leader Matteo Manassero going into the final round of the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth.
McIlroy carded an impressive six-under 66 on Saturday to move to 15 under for the tournament, but saw his efforts eclipsed by his two playing partners. Manassero - a winner at Wentworth in 2013, the year prior to McIlroy's last triumph - carded the round of the day with a nine-under 63, while Billy Horschel enjoyed a stunning run of seven-straight birdies in his 65 that sees him tied with McIlroy for second.
Now back on the cusp of the top 100, Manassero is eyeing a second BMW PGA success over a stacked field after three-straight birdies to finish saw him pull clear of the chasing pack. One of those in behind is Horschel, who along with McIlroy, had a spell holding a share of the lead after his remarkable birdie run between the eighth and 14th holes.
