LAKE FOREST, Illinois (Reuters) - Jason Day stayed on track for his fourth victory in six starts when he birdied the final hole to earn a six-stroke lead after the third round at the BMW Championship on Saturday.

The Australian was not at his very best, but a two-under-par 69 at Conway Farms was enough to increase his lead after he started the day five shots clear.

He posted a 20-under 193 total with one round left in the third of the PGA Tour's four FedExCup playoff events.
