Fleetwood seizes one-stroke lead at PGA Honda Classic

Britain's Tommy Fleetwood birdied four of the last six holes, including two spectacular birdie putts from beyond 40 feet, to grab a one-stroke lead after third round of the US PGA Honda Classic.

The 29-year-old Englishman, runner-up at the 2018 US Open and 2019 British Open, fired a three-under par 67 to finish on five-under 205 after 54 holes at PGA National in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.

Fleetwood, who began the day three strokes off the lead, made six birdies against three bogeys on a wild day where he was the only player to shoot a round under par in the final eight groups.

"It's funny, really, how tough certain shots can play," Fleetwood said.

"There are just so many factors on a golf course. You can only hit golf shots and see where they play."
"Struggled with my game a little bit. Stayed patient and ground it out. I don't think I did too much damage."
"Bit of a bonus there."
