Meanwhile, Frenchman Adrien Saddier took the lead in the tournament with a round of 68.\n\nThe fan favorite, Rory McIlroy, also stayed in contention after a bogey-free round of 68 strokes. The world number 2 is four strokes behind Saddier&#8217;s total of 15 under par, with a cumulative score of 201 strokes at The K Club.\n\nMcIlroy shares fourth place with Joakim Lagergren, after the Swede lost his initial lead with a round of 73 strokes. Lagergren&#8217;s irregular round included four birdies, three bogeys and a double bogey.\n\nAlfredo Garc\u00eda-Heredia placed third, three strokes behind the leader, after achieving two eagles in his round of 67.\n\nHidalgo&#8217;s outstanding round included seven consecutive birdies, finishing one shot behind Saddier.
