Scottie Scheffler and England's Matt Fitzpatrick take a share of the lead into the final round of the PGA Tour's BMW Championship, with Rory McIlroy three back.
Scheffler charged up the leaderboard with seven birdies and a lone bogey in a third-round 64, as Matt Fitzpatrick held the outright advantage at Olympia Fields Country Club until he closed a four-under 66 with a bogey.Both players head into the final day on 11 under and a shot ahead of Open champion Brian Harman, who mixed four birdies with a lone blemish in a third-round 67, with Max Homa a further stroke back in fourth as he chases a third PGA Tour win of the season.
McIlroy took advantage of the par-five first and made three birdies in a four-hole stretch from the third, then fired a wayward drive and missed the green with his approach to post a bogey-five at the ninth. The three-time FedExCup champion three-putted from 15 feet to bogey the tenth, including a missed effort to save par from inside three feet, with McIlroy holing from 10 feet to save par at the 14th and then bogeying the par-five next.'A little disappointing there,' McIlroy admitted.
