Rory McIlroy struggling to creep up Masters leaderboard

Rory McIlroy was struggling to bridge the gap between himself and the top of the Masters leaderboard on Saturday as the third round progressed at Augusta National, writes Simon Lewis.

World number two McIlroy had begun the day at one over par, five shots off the pace being set by halfway co-leaders Charley Hoffman, Sergio Garcia, Thomas Pieters and Rickie Fowler, promising an attacking approach to his play as he attempted to get among the contenders going into the Sunday's final round.
