Aldrich Potgieter will take a two-shot lead into the final round of the Rocket Classic with major champions Collin Morikawa and Matthew Fitzpatrick among the chasing pack<\/p>\n
Potgieter – eyeing a first PGA Tour title after losing to Brian Campbell in a play-off at the Mexico Open in February – carded a seven-under 65 in his third round at Detroit Golf Club.<\/p>\n
The South African, 20, birdied six of his first eight holes, including five in a row.<\/p>\n
Potgieter sits at 19 under for the event with his nearest challengers five Americans on 17 under – Max Greyserman, Andrew Putnam, Jake Knapp, Mark Hubbard and Chris Kirk.<\/p>\n
Knapp birdied his final three holes to sign for a 66, having snatched the course record from Potgieter on Friday with an 11-under 61, a day after the South African youngster had registered a 10-under 62.<\/p>\n
Morikawa is four shots adrift of Potgieter on 15 under – the same mark as England’s Harry Hall – after shooting four under on Saturday, with Hall’s compatriot Fitzpatrick matching Morikawa’s third-round efforts to sit five back on 14 under.<\/p>\n
Morikawa and Fitzpatrick are winless on the PGA Tour since 2023, when the former triumphed at the Zozo Championship and the latter at the RBC Heritage.<\/p>\n
American Davis Thompson is alongside Fitzpatrick on 14 under after a third-round 66 which featured three eagles on his front nine.<\/p>\n
