Ludvig Åberg hit a stunning hole in a third third to sit two strokes by leader Patrick Rodgers heading to the final round of Genesis Invitational in San Diego.

The Northern Irishman was up to seven shots from the lead at one stage, until Rodgers found the only risk of water on his way to confuse the 18th before Mcilroy, playing in the next team, closed with a Birdie.

Rodgers, a four -legged PGA Tour, sees a victory for a maiden victory on Sunday and said: “Instead of playing with monkeys on your back that becomes bigger and greater over time Prospect that feels fresh and new and exciting and full of opportunity, because this is this game and I have a great tomorrow. “
