Just 18 holes remain at the Quicken Loans National at Congressional Country Club in Bethesda, Maryland, and Billy Hurley III holds a two-stroke lead after shooting a four-under 67 on Saturday to sink to 15 under overall for the tournament.

He's opened up a bit of a cushion at the top of the leaderboard, as only two golfers are within three strokes of him.

Tied for third at 10 under, Els catapulted into second with an eagle at No. 12, which he holed out from 160 yards away, as the PGA Tour showed:



He added a birdie on No. 14 to put the icing on a stellar round and put himself in position to break a four-year drought. The last time he has won an event on tour was in 2012, when he won the British Open.

Els is one stroke ahead of Rahm, who despite a tough day is still in the conversation. 

Four birdies on the front nine were canceled by bogeys on Nos. 3, 4, 11 and 13. Rahm's final bogey of the day began with a shank on his first shot, via the PGA Tour:
