Rickie Fowler fired an 8-under 64 on Saturday to jump into the lead after three rounds of action at the Rocket Mortgage Classic in Detroit.
Fowler racked up nine birdies against just one bogey to move to 20-under 196 for the tournament. He holds a one-stroke lead over Canadian Adam Hadwin, who carded the low round of the day with a 63 at Detroit Golf Club.
After tallying a bogey on the par-4 10th, Fowler cruised to the finish line, going for birdie on six of his last eight holes to gain the edge on Hadwin.
Canada’s Taylor Pendrith, who held a share of the lead after 36 holes, fell into third with Saturday’s 67, two shots off the lead. Pendrith’s second-round co-leader, Taylor Moore, fared even worse, recording a 69 that dropped him into a tie for sixth at 16 under.
Peter Kuest (65 on Saturday) and Englishman Aaron Rai (66) sit in a tie for fourth, while China’s Carl Yuan (64), Dylan Wu (66), Collin Morikawa (67) and Justin Lower (67) joined Moore in sixth.
