The third round of this year's Wells Fargo Championship turned into the Rory McIlroy show, with everyone else just happy to play a small part in the proceedings. 

The world's top-ranked player started Saturday at seven under par and three shots behind Webb Simpson. He ended it with a four-shot lead after firing an 11-under 61 to take a comfortable lead into the final round on Sunday.
