McIlroy had a wild end with two boguesys at No. 13 and 14 sandwiched between a pair of birdies at the 12th and 15th holes before scoring a 68. The North-Irish are tied with Xander Schauffele at 14.

"I let a couple of people get away from me on the 13th and 14th, but then, having the balls at 15 and 18, was fine," McIlroy said. "There is still a lot of golf left."

Justin Thomas, the FedExCup points leader who started the week at 10-under par, struggled to reach a 71 and was tied for fourth with Paul Casey (68).

The fourth round must start at 11:50 ET with the players receiving the first out of two starts.
