Mandatory Credit: Reinhold Matay-Imagn Images 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. Bhatia is at 2 under in the third round.
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.
