  1. Bogey for Schefflerpublished at 22:48 British Summer Time

    SW Kim -6, Homa -4, Scheffler -6 (13)

    The whind seems to be whipping up a bit more now around Quail Hollow, as Scottie Scheffler misses the green on the par-three 13th.

    The flag is flapping about wildly as he hacks out of the bunker, but only to 20 feet and he needs two putts from there to drop out of the lead.

    Playing partner Kim Si-woo plays it much better though and picks up a birdie to join Scheffler on six under.

    DeChambeau -7 (16)

    One mistake begets another and Bryson DeChambeau has his hands up in horror at the par-three 17th.

    He's got that swirling shot into the green horribly wrong and his ball has flung over and ended up in the water.

    Two big errors in two holes and suddenly DeChambeau is unravelling.

  3. Noren joins the leaderspublished at 22:40 British Summer Time

    Noren -7 (17)

    And just like that, Alex Noren joins the group of leaders on seven under thanks to a super tee shot on 17 that leaves him eight feet for birdie, which he gobbles up.

    That's three birdies in four holes now for Noren and shows what a quick run can do to the leaderboard when it's so tight between so many players.

  4. DeChambeau makes bogey at 16published at 22:36 British Summer Time

    DeChambeau -7 (16)

    Bryson DeChambeau's ball is actually just kissed up against the fringe surrounding the green so he decides to chip it on and it's good touch from the leader.

    However, he can't back it up with the putter as his effort bumps off the cup and slides away.

    A blink.

  5. Postpublished at 22:29 British Summer Time

    DeChambeau -8 (15)

    Onto the treacherous Green Mile for our leader, the gnarly final three holes that are playing as the three toughest on the course, in reverse order.

    First up for Bryson DeChambeau is the third hardest hole today, the 16th and he's in the rough but scoots it out and onto the green.

    A lengthy two-putt awaits but par will always be good here.

  6. Scheffler hits backpublished at 22:26 British Summer Time

    SW Kim -5, Homa -4, Scheffler -7 (12)

    Scottie Scheffler is a golfing Weeble - every time tou knock him he bounces right back time after time. He shows it again by dismantling the 12th, with a long, straight drive, an iron crunched as pure as the driven snow and a nine-foot putt for a three.

    Game back on.

  7. Postpublished at 22:21 British Summer Time

    Vegas -7, Pavon -6, Fitzpatrick -6 (11)

    Oh my word, how close is that? It feels like Matt Fitzpatrick is due to see a long birdie putt drop but a 50 footer on the 11th green is just a smidgen right.

  8. Rahm round in 67published at 22:20 British Summer Time

    Rahm -6 (67)

    Jon Rahm has an outside chance of finishing with a birdie on the last but his long putt doesn't trouble the hole.

    A par to finish, meaning the Spaniard goes round in 67. All three of his rounds have been under par at this championship, following back-to-back 70s on Thursday and Friday.

    He'll be well in the mix on Sunday as he bids for a third major title.

    Bryson DeChambeau is whipping up the crowd at Quail Hollow, who cheer wildly as he walks off the 15th green.

    He's bang up for this.

  10. DeChambeau into outright leadpublished at 22:16 British Summer Time

    DeChambeau -8 (15)

    Ooof, Bryson DeChambeau also holes his bunker shot from in front of the 15th green for an eagle.

    But a birdie putt from four feet is sufficient to take the 31-year-old American into the lead on his own for the first time today.

    He's five under for the day, with just the fabled "Green Mile" to come in his third round.

  11. Bogey for Schefflerpublished at 22:11 British Summer Time

    Dropped shot for Scottie Scheffler on 11 as his first missed fairway leads to a disappointing bogey that takes him out of the lead.

    He's way left in the rough, then short of the green and his attempt right up the putting surface just leaves him on the fringe 18 feet away - so it's a bogey that will really sting after missing a couple of short birdies chances the last two holes.

    Kim Si-woo also drops a shot here despite finding the middle of the fairway, as he missed the green then plays a dodgy chip so drops back to five under.

    And it's even worse for Max Homa with a double bogey there dropping him right out of the picture.

  12. Bradley bounces into contentionpublished at 22:10 British Summer Time

    Here comes Keegan.

    The USA's Ryder Cup captain continues to showcase his own game and he's certainly in this tournament after a three-under 68 sets a clubhouse lead at five under.

    Jon Rahm will probably overtake him shortly but the 2011 champion firmly believes he has a shout this weekend.

    And so he should.

  13. Birdie for McIlroypublished at 22:10 British Summer Time

    McIlroy +1 (11*)

    Rory McIlroy has something to cheer with a 15-footer for birdie on the second, his 11th hole of the day.

    It gets him back to level par for the day.

  14. Four-way tie at the top!published at 22:07 British Summer Time

    Riley -7 (15)

    Back-to-back birdies for America's Davis Riley has catapulted him into a share of the lead.

    A very tidy round from the 28-year-old and he's making a claim to be in the final group on Sunday.

  15. Fitzpatrick & Pavon regain groundpublished at 22:05 British Summer Time

    Vegas -7, Pavon -6, Fitzpatrick -6 (10)

    Matthieu Pavon comfortably reaches the 606-yard par-five 10th in two. And will have a mid-range putt for eagle...which slides just past but stays in gimme range.

    Meanwhile, Fitzy flies through but then produces a wonderful chip to give himself a look at birdie from two feet or so. He does not miss them.

    Only a par for Jhonattan Vegas mind.

  16. Chip in leaves Noren just one behindpublished at 22:04 British Summer Time

    Noren -6 (15)

    Alex Noren goes back-to-back with birdies on 14 and 15 - the second of which ceoms via a chip in from off the green that he really had to have a stab at.

    All of a sudden Noren is just one off the lead - and with such a tightly packed leaderboard is shows that anyone can make a big move pretty quickly.

  17. Rahm bogeys 17published at 22:01 British Summer Time

    Rahm -6 (17)

    As quickly as Jon Rahm joined the leaders, a bogey on the par-three 17th means he drops off the top of the leaderboard.

    A tee shot just off line to the right of the green ends up being his undoing.

  18. Big miss!published at 21:54 British Summer Time

    SW Kim -6, Homa -4, Scheffler -7 (10)

    Scottie Scheffler has just five feet for a birdie on the 10th, but this time the putter lets him down and he misses the chance to strike the front on his own.

    We just said about all parts of his game starting to warm up - but that putter is always the one big worry with Scheffler.

  19. Bryson into share of leadpublished at 21:53 British Summer Time

    DeChambeau -7 (14)

    Make it four men now at the top of the leaderboard!

    A birdie three on the short 14th for Bryson DeChambeau.

  20. 'A point to prove'published at 21:49 British Summer Time

    Rahm -7 (16)

    Oliver Wilson
    Former Ryder Cup player on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra at Quail Hollow

    Jon Rahm has had a lot of stick since he went to LIV but I think he's finished top 10 in every event over there. He is playing good quality golf but just hasn't excelled at majors.

    That is hard to do. There are only four each year and it's tough with the little bit of extra pressure that comes with coming over from LIV.

    I think he's definitely got a point to prove. He's been playing nicely this week. Started off slowly but worked his way right to the top.

    He's now gone on a hot streak to take advantage of those scoreable holes before the final two.
