Tommy Fleetwood will take a one-stroke lead into the Honda Classic final round as he eyes his first PGA Tour victory.
The Englishman carded a three-under 67 at PGA National on Saturday to get to five under as players struggled in the wind in Florida.
Fleetwood's round was one of just 11 under par in the third round, with Mackenzie Hughes' 66 the best.
A five-time winner on the European Tour, Fleetwood is yet to taste victory on the PGA Tour, but holds a one-shot lead over Brendan Steele (71).
Fleetwood was just one under through nine before mixing four birdies with two bogeys on the back nine.
