Scottie Scheffler and Shane Lowry ended Saturday's round at Bay Hill with a share of the lead at 9-under 207. Scheffler, the current world No. 1, showcased an impressive putting performance, one-putting his final seven greens, including four for birdie, to card a 2-under 70. Lowry also finished strong with two late birdies, one of which was a 30-foot putt on the par-3 17th, also carding a 70.
U.S. Open champion Wyndham Clark sits one shot behind the leaders after a solid round. Will Zalatoris, who had a five-shot lead at one point, stumbled with two double bogeys on the final five holes, allowing others to catch up. Rory McIlroy made a significant move with a remarkable back-nine performance, including driving the par-4 10th hole, a 401-yard dogleg right, with a 365-yard tee shot.
