Rory McIlroy and Francesco Molinari tied for lead at Wentworth

Northern Irishman Rory McIlroy birdied the last two holes to go into Sunday’s final round of the BMW PGA Championship in a share of the lead, Sky Sports report.

McIlroy, the 2014 winner, struggled during his third round, however, managed to birdie the 17th and 18th to card a one-under 71 at Wentworth.

Italian and Ryder Cup team mate Francesco Molinari carded a superb third round 66, which included six birdies and no bogeys to jump up the leaderboard.

The pair have a four shot lead over Englishman Ross Fisher and Sam Horsfield, who both are on nine under par heading into the final round.

It could have been a lot worse for McIlroy, who took a three shot lead into the weekends play, when he blew that lead inside the first six holes on Saturday.

With a risk of thunderstorms, tournament officials have brought forward Sunday’s tee-times, meaning McIlroy will play his final round alongside Molinari and Fisher.
