England’s Alex Fitzpatrick takes a one-shot lead into the final round of the PGA Tour’s Truist Championship, as Rory McIlroy’s title hopes faded in North Carolina.
Fitzpatrick mixed eight birdies with a lone bogey to post a sensational seven-under 64 at the Quail Hollow Club, lifting him to 14 under and a shot clear of Norway’s Kristoffer Reitan.
Cameron Young fired a round-of-the-day 63 to jump to third and within two of the lead, with Nicolai Hojgaard four back in a share of fourth place alongside halfway leader Sungjae Im.
JJ Spaun and Justin Thomas both sit five behind on nine under, while Tommy Fleetwood – playing alongside Im in the final group and one back at the halfway stage – is also in the group tied-sixth after a one-under 70.
McIlroy, a four-time winner of the event, was four strokes off the halfway lead but stumbled down the leaderboard – and out of contention – after a third-round 75.
The back-to-back Masters champion birdied the par-four first but dropped shots on both par-threes on the front nine, then lost further ground after four consecutive bogeys on his back nine.
McIlroy had to settle for birdie at the par-five 15th after missing his eagle attempt from 10 feet, with the world No 2 closing with three straight pars to head into the final day on one under.
