A disastrous round of 76 saw Masters champion Danny Willett plummet down the pecking order at the 2016 BMW PGA Championship on Saturday, while Scott Hend's late eagle saw him clinch a one-shot lead heading into Sunday's decider.

After leading the tournament at the halfway mark, Willett is now clinging on to a top-10 spot heading into Sunday's final round, while Hend snatched top spot with his eagle on the 18th, despite finishing the day at one-over par.



Willett wasn't the only failed performer of the day, however, as Yang Yong-eun also shot three-over par, although he remains within reach of the summit, as does Tyrrell Hatton following a sensational round of 66.

The 24-year-old's opening nine were fairly unnoticeable, making it to the halfway mark at one-under par thanks to his two birdies and a bogey on the third-par fourth hole, but the best was yet to come.

Without another blemish to his scorecard, Hatton proceeded to birdie five of his remaining nine holes, including two of the par fives on the back stretch, to rise into title contention.

The European Tour's official Twitter account celebrated the High Wycombe native's 66, which was timed to perfection alongside the fall of his peers:



Leader Hend was slighty less consistent in his Saturday performance, and it was a stroke of fortune on the 18th that saw him eagle the last hole for the second day in succession.
