Rory McIlroy was two shots off the pace heading into the final round at the Wells Fargo Championship after carding a three-under 68 on a rain-hit third day in Charlotte.

The Northern Irishman, celebrating his 30th birthday, shared the top spot after an opening 66 but had to settle for a 70 in round two.

Quail Hollow saw two rain delays on day three, each lasting just over an hour, but that did not dampen the spirits of the crowd who greeted McIlroy with a rendition of Happy Birthday at the first tee.
