Ian Poulter lost a three-shot lead in two holes during the final round of the weather-hit Honda Classic on Sunday, but still has a share of the lead with Paul Casey going into a sprint-to-the-finish at the PGA National in Florida.

Poulter had played bogey-free in the rain-delayed third round for a four-under-par 66 to lead by three over Padraig Harrington and Patrick Reed. However, he hit a shank into the water and made a double bogey on the par-3 5th, before hooking his tee shot into the water for a bogey on the 6th.

Reed briefly held the lead following a long birdie off the green at the 5th, only to give it back with a bogey on the par-3 7th. Casey, meanwhile, went out in 31 and was tied with Poulter at seven under.

The final round resumes on Monday.
