Ryder Cup star Ian Poulter will take a slender lead into the final round of the Puerto Rico Open as he looks to claim his first victory since 2012.
Poulter, who missed out on a place in this week's WGC-Dell Match Play by just 0.044 world ranking points, carded a third round of 68 at Coco Beach to finish 11 under par, a shot ahead of the American trio of Tony Finau, Jonathan Byrd and Steve Marino.
Halfway leader Rafael Campos, the first Puerto Rican player to lead a PGA Tour event since the 1979 Tallahassee Open, is two shots off the pace after a third-round 72.
Poulter, who last held the 54-hole lead of a PGA Tour event at the 2015 Honda Classic before stumbling to a closing 74, carded three birdies on the front nine and bounced back from a bogey on the 13th to pick up further shots on the 15th and 16th.
Finau moved into a share of second place with a flawless 67 which equalled the lowest score of the day, while Byrd and Marino shot 68 and 69 respectively.
