Rory McIlroy has had a rather eventful week thus far at Pebble Beach.The four-time major winner four-putted on Friday at Monterey Peninsula - it would have been a five-putt but his first attempt was from off the green - and hit another uncharacteristically poor shot Saturday when he flubbed a downhill pitch from the rough at the par-4 eighth at Pebble.And somehow, because golf doesn't make any sense at all, he followed a duff with this difficult save for par.

Patrick Reed leads the tournament by three shots, but thanks to a chip for the ages, McIlroy will tee off Sunday in the final group, alongside the man he has to beat. It happened on the par-5 eighth hole, when Rory went past the green with his second shot. That left him in a precarious situation — a delicate shot with not much green to work with.

While undergoing a massive swing change, he stated that he was missing the chips because his swing was bottoming out at a different point.
