Alex Fitzpatrick hits his tee shot during the third round of the Truist Championship on Saturday.
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. Spaun (65) and England's Tommy Fleetwood (70) are tied for sixth at 9 under.
Among the top 10 on the leaderboard, only Fitzpatrick and Thomas have kept their scores below 70 for all three rounds.
The start of the third round was delayed because of morning storms. It marked the second time in three days that a round was off schedule because of weather.
Hubbard in front at Myrtle Beach
Mark Hubbard fired a 7-under-par 64 to claim a 1-shot edge over Aaron Rai through three rounds of the ONEflight Myrtle Beach Classic.
The 36-year-old Hubbard, who has yet to win a PGA Tour title and hasn't finished in the top 20 this year, reeled off four straight birdies late in his round to push to 16 under 197 heading into the final round of this opposite-field event.
"I felt like I had some of the best ball control I've had all season, maybe my whole career today," Hubbard said. "But I felt like I was kind of leaving a few out there in the middle of the round."
After posting birdies on just two of his first 10 holes, Hubbard recorded a birdie at No. 11 before pouring it on with birdies on Nos. 14 through 17.
