Tyrrell Hatton is one back on -7 followed by a chasing pack including McIlroy.

McIlroy will begin his final round at 6pm UK time alongside Harris English. Kitayama and Hovland will be the final pairing out on the course, beginning their round at 6.20pm UK time.

McIlroy gave himself plenty of work to do after shooting an opening round of 73 at Bay Hill Country Club.

Speaking after Saturday's third round, the Ulsterman said: "I think any time you can go bogey-free on the weekend at Bay Hill you're doing something right.

"I got myself right into the tournament, into the thick of things for tomorrow."
