Golf: Fitzpatrick takes 1-shot lead over McIlroy into final round at Arnold Palmer Invitational

England's Matt Fitzpatrick will take a one-shot lead over Rory McIlroy into the final round of the Arnold Palmer Invitational in Florida. Fitzpatrick, 24, is chasing his first PGA Tour win and, posted five birdies and dropped no shots in a 67 on Saturday to move to nine under par. That is one clear of last year's winner McIlroy, whose 66 put him firmly into contention at Bay Hill. The Northern Irishman started the day seven shots behind Tommy Fleetwood and Keegan Bradley but birdied four of his first six holes and three of the last four. Both Bradley and Fleetwood struggled. The American signed for a 75 to drop into a tie for sixth, while Fleetwood's day was even worse.
