Rory McIlroy posted his best score of the 2015 PGA Championship thus far in Saturday's third round at Whistling Straits, but the odds are stacked against him when it comes to contending for a victory.

The two-time PGA Championship winner fired a four-under 68, which put him at six under overall. He was seven strokes behind leader Matt Jones when he entered the clubhouse. With McIlroy's third round officially in the books, here is a look at where things currently stand on the leaderboard, courtesy of PGATour.com:

As pointed out by ESPN.com's Jason Sobel, McIlroy's third round was feast or famine for the most part:



Rory was steady in each of his first two rounds, as he twice carded a one-under 71 but wasn't exactly thrilled with himself entering Saturday. He believed he squandered some golden opportunities, according to Sky Sports:

I felt like I played better than what the score reflected, so I'm a little bit annoyed. I felt like I should have got that ball up and down on seven and then I had a great chance on eight for birdie and didn't take that.

McIlroy improved somewhat in that regard during the third round, as he made more of the putts he needed for birdie and even eagle but remained inconsistent, as some of his good holes were canceled out ...
