A slow-burning Olympic golf tournament roared to life on Saturday as American Xander Schauffele fought off attacks on all fronts to cling to a one-shot lead heading into the final round.
Overnight leader by a stroke, Schauffele was stalked relentlessly by playing partners Hideki Matsuyama and Carlos Ortiz at Kasumigaseki Country Club but he broke clear with a birdie on the 18th to card 68 for a 14-under total of 199.A stroke behind Schauffele, Japan's Matsuyama drained a clutch putt for par on 18 to finish with a four-under 67, while Mexico's Ortiz held the bronze medal position alongside consistent Briton Paul Casey after a bogey on the last.
McIlroy enjoyed a day out with Ireland team mate Shane Lowry, shooting a 67 to finish three strokes shy of Schauffele on 11-under.
