JB Holmes leads by five shots at World Golf Championships at Doral

JB Holmes takes a five-shot lead over Dustin Johnson going into the final round of the World Golf Championships at Doral.

JB Holmes is on course to win the World Golf Championships at Doral after finishing day three with a round of 70 and five-shot lead over Dustin Johnson.

Bogeys at the first and seventh holes were offset as the 2008 Ryder Cup player sunk a hole-in-one at the fourth and reached the turn in level par for the day.

Holmes dropped a shot at the 12th, but a flurry of birdies at the 14th, 15th, 16th and 17th, before a bogey at the last saw the American head into the final round on 11-under par.

However, Johnson, who has returned to golf after a period away from the sport for personal reasons, put himself in contention for victory on Sunday with a third round of 69.

The 30-year-old made an inauspicious start with a bogey at the second, but his round was kickstarted with his own hole-in-one at the fourth and three further birdies, only to bogey the final hole to fall back to six-under par.
