Rory McIlroy last won a tournament at the Hero Dubai Desert Classic in January

Rory McIlroy says sticking to his plan on the final day of the Memorial Tournament will give him "a great chance" after a dogged third round shot him into a share of the lead.

The Northern Irishman's round of two under on Saturday saw him climb six places on the leaderboard.

He shares the lead with American David Lipsky and South Korea's Kim Si-woo.

"If I stick with the game plan of the last three days, I'll be in with a great chance," McIlroy told Sky Sports.

McIlroy, 34, has been focused on keeping the ball in play off the tee at the challenging Muirfield Village Golf Club in Ohio.
