His scorecard reads 70, but what a 70 it was for Rory McIlroy who went out in 40 strokes but shot himself right back into contention with a back nine of 30 !
On a big Sunday for sports in France with their national team playing Iceland for a place in the Euro2016 semi finals he trails Thongchai Jaidee who will take a two-shot lead into the final round of the 100th Open de France at Le Golf National after he carded the only bogey-free round of the day with a 68 that moved him to -8 ahead of Rory and sensational young Korean Jeunghun Wang both at -6.
Defending champion Bernd Wiesberger is at -5 five, two shots clear of 2009 champion Martin Kaymer, Joost Luiten, Alex Noren, Brandon Stone and Andy Sullivan all at -3.
Round 4 is well under way under grey skies and light winds in Paris, and Rory has just teed off smashing a huge drive down the right side of the fairway into the first cut of rough.
