It’s nice when you get that in a hurry, but it’s even better to use it. Hovland, of Norway, remains his closest competitor after a stunning birdie on the 17th hole kept him in contention. Hovland, who was playing alongside Fitzpatrick and world number one Scottie Schaffler, shot a disciplined 67. The American, despite hitting every fairway and converting several birdie chances, is seven shots behind.
