“I enjoy being in this position,” said Fleetwood. “The more I put myself there, the more chance there is of it happening. <\/p>\n
“[Sunday] might be my day, it might not, but being there is the most important thing.”<\/p>\n
The world number 15 lost his lead early in the third round following a double bogey at the par-five third and a bogey at the seventh.<\/p>\n
That left Rose alone in the lead and he followed with a birdie at the seventh, but then found water at the ninth and made bogey while Fleetwood birdied the ninth to regain a share of the lead.<\/p>\n
The 34-year-old went clear again with a 14-foot birdie putt at the 12th and claimed another birdie on the 16th.<\/p>\n
He had a three-shot lead after 17 holes, but a bogey on the last allowed Rose to pull within one with a birdie.<\/p>\n
Fleetwood has had five top-five finishes this season and was runner-up behind Keegan Bradley at the Travelers Championship in June.<\/p>\n
Players who finish in the top 50 of the FedEx Cup standings after Sunday’s round at TPC Southwind will advance to next week’s BMW Championship – the second of the PGA Tour’s three play-off tournaments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"“I enjoy being in this position,” said Fleetwood. “The more I put myself there, the more chance there…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":72012,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[71],"tags":[427,99],"class_list":["post-72011","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-golf","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/72011","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=72011"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/72011\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/72012"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=72011"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=72011"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=72011"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
