Rory McIlroy put himself in prime position to win his national Open for the first time as the third round of the Irish Open Hosted by the Rory Foundation was completed earlier this morning.
He has 12 wins on the European Tour, including his four Major Championships but had missed the last three cuts at the Irish Open with a best finish of seventh in 2008.
He recorded the only bogey-free score of the third round with a 70 that moved him to nine under, three shots clear of Masters Tournament champion Danny Willet.
Round 4 is now well under way under sunny skies at the magnificent K Club, with the only AA Red Star hotel in the country, it looks like a huge white French chateau built right on the banks of the Liffey river, just outside Dublin.
Welshman Bradley Dredge has made three birdies in a row to get to -6 along with Willett, but Rory is really in charge, driving the ball beautifully, trying to eliminate any bogey's and take his birdies as they present themselves.
There are ominous black clouds arriving in the area as I write, it looks like rain...
