Alex Fitzpatrick takes lead at Truist Championship

England's Alex Fitzpatrick shot 7-under-par 64 to take the lead through three rounds of the Truist Championship on Saturday in Charlotte.

He's at 14-under 199 with a one-shot lead on Norway's Kristoffer Reitan, who posted a bogey-free 64, and a two-shot edge on Cameron Young, who recorded a 63.

It was a day with lots of movement on the leaderboard at Quail Hollow Club, where last May the PGA Championship was contested.

Fitzpatrick was 6 under for the round through 12 holes, pulling into a tie for the lead. He birdied Nos. 12 and 15 before the momentum was interrupted with a bogey on the 16th as he had to hit out of a greenside bunker. He needed an 8-foot putt for birdie on the next hole.

Young, who last weekend won the Cadillac Championship in Miami with a wire-to-wire effort, had an eagle on the par-5 seventh hole by sinking a 28-foot putt. His lone bogey came on the final hole.

Denmark's Nicolai Hojgaard (67) and South Korea's Sunjae Im (70), the second-round leader, share fourth place at 10 under.

Justin Thomas (69), J.J. Spaun (65) and England's Tommy Fleetwood (70) are tied for sixth at 9 under.

Among the top 10 on the leaderboard, only Fitzpatrick and Thomas have kept their scores below 70 for all three rounds.

The start of the third round was delayed because of morning storms. It marked the second time in three days that a round was off schedule because of weather.
