"It would be amazing," he said after carding one of just eight sub-par rounds yesterday to lead on six-under from Manassero.
"I definitely would have taken the score before I went out today," said the world number three, who looked a different player to the man who shot rounds of 78 and 75 to comfortably miss the cut in The Open at Royal Troon.
"If you picked up a birdie here and there it was a bonus but I think to shoot in the sixties today in those conditions was a really good effort and it puts me in a great position going into tomorrow."
"The last couple of times I've played in Northern Ireland it hasn't really panned out the way I wanted so to play a good three days here and be in the final group and give myself a chance tomorrow I'm excited for the opportunity."
