Scottie Scheffler navigated his way through the round to take the solo lead in the tournament. Scheffler made a dangerous double bogey on the 10th but recovered in the best way possible, with an eagle on the 13th.

The revelation player of the day was Collin Morikawa, who posted a score of 3 under to put himself in contention for the title. Morikawa played with four birdies and one bogey, all on the front nine.

Max Homa continued his good pace and is only two strokes behind the leader. Homa played with one bogey, no birdies, to seal his score at 5 under after 54 holes. One stroke behind is Ludvig Aberg, who played this Saturday with four birdies and two bogeys.

Bryson DeChambeau is four strokes behind the leader. However, it is not a difference that has completely taken him out of the competition.
