With just 18 holes left to play at the 2015 Arnold Palmer Invitational, there still is no clear favorite among the field. Morgan Hoffmann entered the third round in the lead, but he finds himself two shots behind and looking up at Henrik Stenson's 16-under par. 

The rest of the leaderboard is a jumbled mess, in a good way, with 11 total players sitting at 10 under par or better heading into Sunday's final round.

The big mover on Saturday was Jason Kokrak, who tied for the best round with a seven-under 65 that put him at 13 under for the tournament. The 29-year-old was spotless, with zero bogeys in his round.
