He got a set back by missing 2 small putts for par on the 13th &14th.A brilliant long iron shot got him back to 4 under at the 15th.
Rory's 68 left him 3 shots behind a group of 4 players including Phil Mickelson and Retief Goosen.
Padraig Harrington shows signs of a come back when he recorded 6 birdies and 14 pars for a superb 66.
