It's starting to get tight on the links course in Harbour Town. With one round left in the PGA Tour event, there's a real hornet's nest behind leader Matt Fitzpatrick. Among them is Ludvig Åberg, who after a round of 68 is in a share of sixth place.

The Swede made five birdies during Saturday's round, but two bogeys on holes 13 and 18 meant that Åberg was -3 for the day and -12 overall. However, he is only two strokes behind Scottie Scheffler in second place.

Matt Fitzpatrick extended his lead during the third round. The Englishman, like Åberg, shot 68 and is at -17 overall.

Alex Norén had his best round to date, shooting a 66, and climbed 12 places to tie for 62nd, at one under par.

Correction: An earlier version contained incorrect information about Fitzpatrick's management.
