Now I'm going to try not to mess it up, he says in Viaplay, according to Aftonbladet.

The Swede notched seven birdies and only two bogeys in the major tournament in North Carolina, which meant a round of –5, second best of all players. Only one managed better, Scottie Scheffler from the USA, who went around on –6.

The American world number one leads with a total of –11 ahead of Sunday's finale, three strokes ahead of Norén, who has been long-term injured and is making only his second tournament in seven months.

After the 42-year-old from Stockholm, the Americans Davis Riley and J.T. Poston share third place with a total of –7.

The start of the third round was delayed by several hours due to weather chaos, which involved a risk of lightning strikes.
