Tommy Fleetwood has stormed into title contention at the PGA Tour event this weekend, ending the third round in a three-way tie at the top alongside World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler and major champion Justin Thomas. The trio now heads into the final day knotted at the summit of the leaderboard, setting the stage for a dramatic Sunday showdown.
Fleetwood, who is still chasing his first PGA Tour victory, displayed immense poise and precision throughout the round. The Englishman carded a composed 66, marked by a blend of accurate irons and clutch putting, most notably sinking a 25-foot birdie on the 17th to secure his share of the lead at 11-under-par.
“It was one of those rounds where everything clicked,” Fleetwood said afterward. “I kept my composure and trusted the process. To be in this position with two of the game’s best is a great feeling.”
Joining him at the top is Scottie Scheffler, who continues his outstanding form in 2025. Scheffler was characteristically solid, with his steady tee-to-green play serving as the backbone of his round. He posted a 67, highlighted by birdies on holes 4, 9, and 15, maintaining the consistency that has made him one of the most feared names on the Tour.
Meanwhile, Justin Thomas reminded the golf world of his elite credentials. The two-time PGA Championship winner found rhythm with his driver and short game, carding a bogey-free 65 to vault up the leaderboard. Thomas, who has endured mixed results over the past year, looked every bit the contender again, exuding confidence as he made his move on moving day.
“It felt good to have a clean card again,” Thomas said. “I knew I had to be aggressive to get into the mix, and I’m happy with how I executed down the stretch.”
Behind the leading trio, a chasing pack that includes Xander Schauffele, Rory McIlroy, and Collin Morikawa looms large, just a stroke or two back, promising a tense and talent-filled finale.
Sunday’s round now promises fireworks, with three contrasting styles — Fleetwood’s finesse, Scheffler’s steadiness, and Thomas’s firepower — clashing in what could become one of the season’s most memorable finishes.
For Fleetwood, it’s a shot at history. For Scheffler, it’s a chance to further cement his dominance. For Thomas, it’s the opportunity to reassert himself among the game’s elite. All three have 18 ho
les to settle it.
