Photograph: Kevin C Cox/Getty ImagesUS Open champion Matt Fitzpatrick shot an eight-under 63 as he grabbed a one-shot lead heading into the final round of the RBC Heritage at Hilton Head.
The Sheffieldgolfer, chasing his second US win to go with his Major triumph, holed his second shot for an eagle two at the fourth and added six birdies for his lowest round on the PGA Tour. He holds a one-shot lead over Patrick Cantlay, who lost in a playoff to Jordan Spieth a year ago, after Cantlay shot a 66.
That was matched by Spieth, seeking to defend a title for the first time, who is a shot further back on 12 under par, one ahead of a group including England’s Tommy Fleetwood, overnight leader Jimmy Walker and world number two Scottie Scheffler.
