Golf roundup: Alex Fitzpatrick takes lead at Truist Championship

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 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.

Nicolai Hojgaard (67) and Sunjae Im (70), the second-round leader, share fourth place at 10 under. Justin Thomas (69), J. J.
