CRANS-SUR-SIERRE, Switzerland – Teenager Rory McIlroy shot a 5-under 66 Saturday to take a four-stroke lead after the third round of the European Masters.

The 19-year-old player from Northern Ireland had a 54-hole total of 13-under 200 to lead a group of six players bunched on 204. That group included Robert Dinwiddie, who shot the low round of 64.

McIlroy, who is chasing his first European Tour victory, had a big drive at the 543-yard, par-5 first hole. He followed with a 9-iron second shot to 3 feet to set up an eagle.

“I was a little nervous because I had never set off in the last group before, but that calmed my nerves,” McIlroy said.

Defending champion Brett Rumford, who shared the overnight lead with McIlroy, shot 73 and dropped seven shots behind the leader.
