England’s Matt Fitzpatrick and world number one Scottie Scheffler of the United States share the lead going into the BMW Championship’s final round.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Fitzpatrick, last year’s US Open champion, shot a 66 after bogeying his final hole while 2022 Masters champion Scheffler made seven birdies in his 64.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

They lead Open champion Brian Harman by one shot at Olympia Fields in Illinois.<\/span><\/p>\n

Northern Ireland’s Rory McIlroy is three strokes behind the joint leaders after a third-round 67.<\/span><\/p>\n

Halfway leader Max Homa, who shot a course-record 62 in round two that was matched by fellow American Sam Burns on Saturday, remains in touch despite a 71 that included a triple-bogey seven at the seventh.<\/span><\/p>\n

The tournament field comprises the top 50 in the PGA Tour’s FedEx Cup rankings, with the top 30 to qualify for next week’s Tour Championship finale in Atlanta.<\/span><\/p>\n
