Kiwi golfers Danny Lee and Tim Wilkinson have experienced frustrating third rounds at the Arnold Palmer Invitational on the PGA Tour in Florida.

Lee fired a one-over 73 today to drop back to a share of 52nd at even par for the tournament, while Manawatu's Wilkinson signed for a disappointing five-over 77 to slip to 77th in the field at six-over.

Both will want to produce a strong finish in their fourth rounds at they chase valuable FedEx Cup ranking points but they're well behind leader Adam Scott who is at -15 and will take a three shot lead in to the final day.

Meanwhile, on the Web.com Tour, Hamilton's Steven Alker is in a share of 35th at even par at the Panama Claro Championship after shooting a two-over 72 today.
