McIlroy immediately lost his 54-hole lead after hitting his opening tee shot into a fairway bunker and three-putting the first green for a double bogey. On the second, he again hit his drive into a fairway bunker, missing his birdie putt while DeChambeau took the lead with a two-putt birdie. McIlroy regained a three-shot lead with birdies at 3 and 4, while DeChambeau bogeyed both holes. At 5 and 7, McIlroy hit erratic tee shots but managed to hit extremely high recovery shots over trees at both holes, leaving himself a short uphill chip at 5 and a short birdie putt at 7. After four pars on holes 5 through 8, he made birdies on 9 and 10 to extend his lead. On the 11th, McIlroy again drove into the trees right of the fairway, and had to hit a low second shot, which ricocheted off of the mounds short of the green and stopped inches short of the water hazard. DeChambeau then pulled a 9-iron from the middle of the fairway into the water hazard. McIlroy played a conservative chip shot away from the water and missed his par putt, but DeChambeau's double bogey left McIlroy with a four-shot lead. Meanwhile, Rose's birdie at the 13th was his fifth in seven holes and moved him to −10, three shots behind McIlroy, who made a safe par at the 12th. Holding a three-shot lead in the middle of the 13th fairway, McIlroy decided to lay up short of the water hazard in front of the green, leaving himself 82 yards for his third shot into the par five. With ample room on the green long and left of the hole, McIlroy misplayed his wedge shot, shockingly finding the water hazard short and right of the hole. He failed to get up and down for bogey, reducing his lead to just one shot. He hit another towering approach shot from the trees right of the 14thfairway but failed to get up and down from short of the green, dropping him to −10 into a three-way tie for the lead with Rose and Åberg, who birdied the 15th. Rose birdied the 16th to take the solo lead. McIlroy hit another remarkable iron shot into the 15thgreen, hooking a 7-iron around the trees on the left side of the fairway to six feet for a two-putt birdie to join Rose at −11. After bogeying the 17th, Rose holed a long putt on 18 for his tenth birdie of the day to post a score of −11 for the clubhouse lead. Åberg three-putted the 17th green to drop to −9 before triple-bogeying the 18th after hitting the face of the fairway bunker trying to hole his second shot for eagle to tie Rose. After missing a short birdie putt on 16, McIlroy hit a towering shot from the middle of the fairway on the 17th to three feet, which he converted for birdie to take the lead at −12. After hitting his tee shot into the middle of the 18th fairway, he pushed his wedge shot into a greenside bunker and missed a short par putt to fall into the playoff with Rose.
