Jon Rahm hits an iron shot

PARS AT THE EIGHTH

The final group are in the tough stretch of holes, with all three producing fine approach shots to the treacherous par 4 eighth.

Finding the green, Saddier’s putt slides-by, with the Frenchman tapping in for par. Leader Noren also misses his birdie attempt, while Hatton is up on his putt early without scaring the hole at all.

BIRDIE FOR RAHMBO

Jon Rahm had been on a charge today and was six-under through 12. However, his challenge has fizzled out slightly after bogeying the 14th.

The Spaniard needs a strong finish and an eagle attempt at the par 5 17th just misses on the right-side. He does birdie, though, which moves him into a share of seventh at 13-under.

Behind Rahm, Martin Couvra has made a seventh birdie of the day to join the gaggle of players at 14-under. Like Rahm, he is six-under for his round.

BOGEY FOR HATTON

Tyrrell Hatton is one of the big names in contention but, at the par 4 seventh, he pushes his wedge from the thick rough right, finding the greenside bunker.

It’s a tough upcoming third and, striking a wedge, his bunker shot stays on the bank, leaving a delicate chip. His fourth is good, but it leads to a dropped shot from the 2020 champion.

He falls back into a three-way tie of third at 14-under, alongside Min Woo Lee and Aaron Rai. Adrien Saddier remains solo second at 15-under, while Alex Noren still leads at 16-under.

HELLO ALL

Good morning, afternoon and evening all, and welcome to the final round of the BMW PGA Championship, which is set up for a thrilling finish at Wentworth.

Among the other players on a charge this morning are Jon Rahm, who is five-under through 16, while Dan Bradbury fired a six-under 66 in the morning wave.
