With only nine players under par at a very firm and fast Firestone GC it is Jason Day and Scott Piercy who cling to a one shot lead heading into today's final round.
The world's #1 did not bring a hot driver to the course, wild at times off the tee and it was his ability to scramble for par and hole clutch putts that kept him in contention. He made a 40 footer on the 15th and had several par saving putts from 10 feet on his way to a 70 -5 total.
Piercy a former RBC Canadian Open winner is in good form after his 2nd place finish at the U.S. Open at Oakmont, and he was totally in control of his game, leading by a shot until the final hole where he yanked his tee shot into the left rough, making a good bogey to finish with 67 -5
David Lingmerth of Sweden had a 69 to sit a -4 and US Open champion Dustin Johnson shot 66 to get to -2, along with Charl Schwartzel (67) and William McGirt (70).
