Fox Written by Associated Press VIRGINIA WATER, England (AP) – Rory McIlroy hit a 4-iron from 230 yards to inside 2 feet and holed the eagle putt to cap off a 3-under 69 on Saturday and move into contention to win the BMW PGA Championship for the second time.

The No. 2-ranked McIlroy's birdie-eagle finish on the back-to-back closing par 5s at Wentworth Golf Club left him on 11-under 205 after the third round, just two strokes off the lead at 13 under held by Manuel Elvira and Filippo Celli on a crowded leaderboard.
