In-form Scott Piercy joins Jason Day on top of Ohio leaderboard

American Scott Piercy moved up alongside world number one Jason Day at the top of the leaderboard after the third round of the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational in Ohio.

Piercy, in a three-way tie for second at the US Open last month, opened up with an eagle on the second hole at the Firestone Country Club, Akron on his way to a three-under-par 67 - which would have been one stroke better and given him the outright lead but for a bogey on the 18th.
