Scottie Scheffler fired a 6-under-par 64 on Saturday at Olympia Fields (Ill.) Country Club to tie Matt Fitzpatrick atop the leaderboard of the BMW Championship after 54 holes.
The pair sit at 11-under 199, one stroke ahead of Open champion Brian Harman, who shot 67. Second-round leader Max Homa (67 on Saturday) sits solo fourth at 9 under for the tournament.
Fitzpatrick carded a 66, suffering a bogey on No. 18 that cost him the outright lead heading into Sunday’s final round. He had a bogey-free round to that point.
Scheffler buried four birdies on the back nine — seven overall — including three in a row on Nos. 10-12.
Rory McIlroy (67) and Viktor Hovland (65) are three shots off the lead in a tie for fifth.
Another four golfers are T7 at 7 under, including Sam Burns, who matched Homa’s 62 on Friday with a 62 of his own in the third round, vaulting 26 spots up the leaderboard.
