Jason Day and Scott Piercy will enter the final round of the 2016 WGC-Bridgestone Invitational on equal footing atop the leaderboard, as they both sit at five under following Saturday's third round.

Day shot a one-under 69 after entering the weekend with the solo lead, while Piercy fired a three-under 67 to close the gap at Firestone Country Club in Akron, Ohio. 

Here is a look at the leaderboard after 54 holes; full results are available at WorldGolfChampionships.com:



While the world No. 1 managed to stay in first place, Saturday's round was a struggle for Day. He carded a pair of bogeys and couldn't hit the fairway with any type of regularity.

Day seemed destined for a potential put-away round early on, though. He knocked down a confident birdie putt on the first hole, as seen in this video courtesy of the PGA Tour:



The Australian superstar's round was up and down in nature from that point forward, but he put himself in great position to win the Bridgestone for the first time in his career.

In order to do so, however, he will have to hold off the hard-charging Piercy, who wiped out a two-shot deficit by virtue of his impressive third-round showing.

The highlight of Piercy's day came on the par-five second hole, where he converted a remarkable eagle with the following chip-in:



Piercy appeared well on his way to posting the best round of the day and entering Sunday with sole possession of the lead, but he had his first and only slip-up on the 18th hole.

After playing the first 17 holes at four under without a bogey, the 37-year-old dropped a stroke on his final hole of the round and left the door open for Day.

As  ESPN.com's Jason Sobel pointed out, it is difficult to predict how Piercy will fare in the fourth round due to his inconsistent results in big tournaments this year:
