Johnson slips late in the day in China as McIlroy lies sixth

Dustin Johnson admitted he was “a little mad” with himself after a double-bogey on the last reduced his lead to three shots heading into the final round of the WGC-HSBC Champions in Shanghai.

Despite also making a double-bogey on the 10th, Johnson stood on the 18th tee with his five-shot halfway lead intact thanks to a front nine of 30 for the second day running and four more birdies in succession from the 13th.
