McIlroy gets on track for Masters

Rory McIlroy was disappointed to three-putt the last but pleased his game is moving in the right direction with just 17 days to go before the start of the Masters.

The world No 3 began the final round of the Arnold Palmer Invitational five strokes behind leaders Kevin Kisner and Charley Hoffman on six-under-par following a seven-under 65 in Saturday’s third round at Bay Hill.

But he didn’t stop there and went to the last on 10-under par, just a shot behind eventual winner Marc Leishman.
