Daniel Berger shot even-par through 15 holes to maintain the lead in the weather-interrupted Arnold Palmer Invitational on Saturday in Orlando.
Berger will carry a three-shot lead into play Sunday on the Bay Hill Club course, where he'll have a busy day.
He's at 13 under for the tournament, with Akshay Bhatia, his playing partner, at 10 under.
Austria's Sepp Straka shot 66 to move to 9 under, while Cameron Young's 67 also put him at 9 under. Collin Morikawa, with one hole to finish, also holds a 9-under mark.
Australia's Min Woo Lee (68) finished the round at 8 under.
Berger took a five-stroke lead into the weekend. He and Bhatia have three holes to finish in the third round before waiting to start their final rounds.
A 66-minute weather delay in the afternoon put the round off-schedule.
Scottie Scheffler (72), the world's No. 1 golfer, had four consecutive birdies as part of a 5-under stretch across six holes on the backside before a double-bogey on the final hole. Four bogeys on the front nine also were costly, so he's at 3 under.
Rory McIlroy of Northern Ireland withdrew prior to the third round citing a back injury. He had rounds of 72 and 68 to begin the tournament.
LIV Hong Kong
Spain's Jon Rahm, Harold Varner III and Belgium's Thomas Detry are tied for the lead at 17-under entering Sunday's final round at LIV Golf Hong Kong.
Belgium's Thomas Pieters and 36-hole co-leaders Dean Burmester of South Africa and Carlos Ortiz of Mexico are two shots behind following Saturday's third round at Hong Kong Golf Club at Fanling.
Pieters shot the day's low round of 61 to move into contention.
Rahm, who is looking for his first LIV Golf individual victory since 2024, carded a 5-under 65.
Detry, who posted a 4-under 66 on Saturday, is trying to beat the man who helped him get to the tournament.
Detry was one of seven LIV Golf players who were stranded in the United Arab Emirates after the U.S. and Israel launched attacks last weekend against Iran. Rahm helped to arrange a charter flight to get them all to Hong Kong.
