Overview
- Ryder Cup vice-captain Alex Noren closed birdie‑birdie‑eagle for a third‑round 65 to reach 15 under, tying France’s Adrien Saddier, who matched 65 with three birdies in his last four holes.
- Tyrrell Hatton posted a bogey‑free 64 to sit two shots back, with Viktor Hovland in fourth at 12 under after an erratic 71.
- Halfway leader Hideki Matsuyama slid seven behind with a 76, matched by playing partner Justin Rose, while Ludvig Åberg and Matt Fitzpatrick start the final day at 10 under.
- Rory McIlroy recorded two double bogeys in a two‑under 70 to stand at five under, and an additional cut to 78 players trimmed the weekend field, with Robert MacIntyre among those to miss out.
- Tee times for Sunday were moved earlier due to a poor weather forecast after a week that began with heavy rain and a lengthy opening‑day delay.
