The third day of the 2015 Arnold Palmer Invitational came to a close on Saturday, with Henrik Stenson overtaking Morgan Hoffmann for a two-stroke lead.
Arnold Palmer: 'Tiger Woods Has to Regain Confidence'
Defending champion Matt Every and four others remain another stroke back. Below is recap of the third day's events (via PGA Tour).
What They're Saying
Henrik Stenson: "Augusta is definitely in the back of my mind. I got a few things I'm kind of working on towards Augusta, but still we're here now and playing the final round [Sunday] and I'm going to try my hardest to do a good job [Sunday] and try and close out this golf tournament to win here."
Keegan Bradley: "I seem to play the par 5s really well. I drive the ball super well here. I don't know why I play well here, but I do. I seem to get under par early, which is important."
Rory McIlroy: "There's times when I'm really comfortable and then times that I'm still not too comfortable, so it's highlighted a couple of different things. But for the most part, I've got what I wanted out of it."
World No. 1 Update
McIlroy struggled to maintain the momentum created by the 66 he shot on Friday. After failing to connect on a 25-foot birdie, the 25-year-old finished with a 71 and trails Stenson by seven strokes.
