Rory McIlroy catapulted himself into contention at the Tour Championship with a seven-under-par 63, although Viktor Hovland remains some way out in front of the Northern Irishman at East Lake.
McIlroy, who began the day seven shots adrift of joint halfway leaders Hovland and Ryan Gerard, dropped further back early in his third round by three-putting at the 191-yard par-three second.
