THE GOLF BALL IS FOUND

Hillier has located his golf ball following his second shot at the 14th but, as expected, it’s in a really bad place and it looks impossible that he’ll be able to advance it further.

Consequently, Hillier has picked the golf ball up and will head back to where he played his original from. This will be his fourth.

HUGE MISTAKE FROM HILLIER

He’s been in control of his game today but, after finding the fairway at the par 5 14th, Hillier pushes his second shot well right and into the shrubbery.

He hits a provisional, which finds the greenside bunker. It’s currently unclear as to where his first finished but, given the thickness of this forestry, it’s uncertain whether he will want to find it!

NAKAJIMA BIRDIES THE 12TH

Following an excellent approach at the par 3 12th, Nakajima rolls in an eight footer to move to 19-under and one back of Hillier and Fleetwood.

It isn’t the week he would have wanted, but McIlroy birdies the final hole to finish 11-under and, currently, in a share of 25th spot. He cards a one-under 70 today.

PARS THROWN AROUND

The leaders are spread over this back nine and, at the 13th, both Alex Fitzpatrick and Hillier par the hole to remain at 16-under and 20-under.

Behind them, Nakajima pars the par 3 11th while Fleetwood makes a huge up-and-down to remain in a share of the lead with Hillier.

Faced with a tough chip, the Englishman runs it by eight-foot, but his putt coming back catches the right-edge and drops for a three. Big moment from Fleetwood!

LAWRENCE MAKING A CHARGE

Thriston Lawrence has one victory in 2025 and, with a birdie at the 16th, he is now six-under for his last five holes and 18-under for the championship.

He is two back of Hillier and Fleetwood, who are a few holes back of the South African.

Fleetwood joins Hillier at the top of the leaderboard! After watching Nakajima miss his birdie putt, Fleetwood steps in and rolls an 18-footer into the center of the cup to get to 20-under.

He is five-under for the day and, up ahead, Hillier makes an up-and-down on the par 3 12th to remain alongside the Ryder Cup star.

HOW DID THAT MISS?

Keita Nakajima, who led going into the final round, plays an average shot into the par 4 10th and leaves himself 20-feet for a birdie.

Striking his putt, it looks in all the way but, at the last second, it catches the right-side of the hole and horseshoes out. It’s a tap-in par for the Japanese player, who remains 18-under.

BACK NINE ACTION

Daniel Hillier is the first player to get to 20-under following another birdie at the 10th hole. That is his seventh birdie of the day and puts him two clear of Tommy Fleetwood momentarily.

Playing in the group behind, Fleetwood produces an excellent approach to the ninth, with his dead straight putt never leaving the hole. It drops and puts the Englishman one back of Hillier.
