Think it’s fair to file Tommy Fleetwood’s third round under ‘solid but not spectacular’.
But most importantly he remains thick in the medal hunt at the Olympic men's golf event.
Fleetwood started in a share of the lead and, while those around him enjoyed a birdie-fest, he carded a two-under 69.
The 33-year-old Englishman ends Saturday in the bronze medal position.
Tomorrow he will go out last with Spain's Jon Rahm, who shot 66, and defending champion Xander Schauffele.
The American almost snatched the outright overnight lead with a birdie putt which fell inches short on the 18th.
Rory McIlroy, playing for Ireland, is four shots behind the leaders after a five-under 66.
