Rory McIlroy is two strokes off the lead going into the final day of the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth after eagling the 18th hole on Saturday.
The back-to-back Masters champion recorded a three-under 69 in his third round to leave him joint-sixth, and one of five players on 11-under.
McIlroy was one-over for the day after 11 holes but birdied the 12th and 17th before a four-iron approach from 230 yards on the last left a tap-in for eagle.
"I think it was a day when you really had to take advantage of the par-fives, they were your scoring opportunities," McIlroy told DP World Tour media. "I stayed as patient as I could, and then I feel like that patience was rewarded over those last few holes."
Spain's Manuel Elvira and Italian Filippo Celli lead heading into the final day on 13-under, while Alejandro Del Rey, JJ Spaun and Johannes Veerman are 12-under.
McIlroy is trying to reel in Patrick Reed to win a record-equalling eighth Race to Dubai title and can boost those hopes by securing the second BMW PGA Championship title of his career on Sunday.
