Rory McIlroy will play in the last group with Scottie Scheffler in the final round of the Tour Championship after round three was completed on Sunday following a suspension because of lightning on Saturday.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

World number one Scheffler led by just one when play resumed, but made four birdies in the final six holes to move to 23 under.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Northern Ireland’s McIlroy and America’s Xander Schauffele sit in joint-second behind Scheffler on 17 under.<\/span><\/p>\n

McIlroy made two closing birdies to card a seven-under-par 63 – his best ever at East Lake in Atlanta.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Great way to finish the round,” McIlroy said. <\/span><\/p>\n

“Gets me a little closer. At least gives me a chance going into this afternoon so I’m excited for that.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Four-time major winner McIlroy will play alongside Scheffler in the final round on Sunday in the hope of adding to his Tour Championship titles from 2016 and 2019.<\/span><\/p>\n

Masters champion Scheffler began the tournament with a four-shot advantage over Schauffele and a six-shot advantage over McIlroy as players began the season-ending event on different scores determined by their place in the FedEx Cup standings.<\/span><\/p>\n

Just the top 30 players in the PGA Tour standings have qualified for the $75m (\u00a363.5m) event – the finale to this season’s PGA Tour with $18m in prize money (\u00a315.25m) to the winner and second place receiving $6.5m and last place taking home $500,000.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
