(Reuters) - World number three Rory McIlroy fired his third five-under-par 67 of the week to surge to within one stroke of the leaders after the third round of the Turkish Airlines Open in Antalya on Saturday.
The 26-year-old returned five birdies, an eagle and two bogeys as he finished with a 15-under-par total of 201, one behind South African Jaco Van Zyl (70) and 2013 winner Victor Dubuisson (67) of France.
Thailand's Kiradech Aphibarnrat (66) was sharing third position with McIlroy on 201.
"The eagle on 13 was the spark that I needed to get myself up the leaderboard," Northern Irishman McIlroy told reporters at the $7-million European Tour event.
