Henrik Stenson leads by two at Arnold Palmer Invitational

Henrik Stenson shoots a third-round 66 to lead the Arnold Palmer Invitational by two strokes from Morgan Hoffmann.

Henrik Stenson will take a two-shot lead into the final day of the Arnold Palmer Invitational following a third round of 66 at Bay Hill.

The Swede made a steady start to his round, picking up birdies at the sixth and ninth holes as he reached the turned in 34.

However, an eagle at 16, as well as two birdies at 15 and 18, propelled Stenson to the top of the leaderboard at 16-under par.

He holds a two-stroke advantage over early pacesetter Morgan Hoffmann, who recovered from successive bogeys to card a one-under-par 71.

Rory McIlroy followed up his 66 on Friday with a mixed round of 71, which included a hat-trick of dropped shots which leave him trailing Stenson by seven.
