Key points
Matt Fitzpatrick has a 3-shot lead entering the final round
Scottie Scheffler is a close competitor with a strong performance
Three golfers are one stroke behind Scheffler at 13 under
The final round features several golfers tied at 12 under
Matt Fitzpatrick has a 3-shot lead entering Sunday's final round of the RBC Heritage at Harbour Town Golf Links, but world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler is a lurking presence with him in the last group.
Fitzpatrick stumbled early in April 18's third round with three bogeys in his first seven holes, but a pair of hole-outs from off the green helped him salvage a 3-under 68. The 2023 RBC Heritage champion is at 17-under par for the tournament. Scheffler, meanwhile, made a strong move, shooting a 64 and briefly tying for the lead before Fitzpatrick was able to right the ship.
That sets up an enticing head-to-head showdown between the two as they tee off at 1:50 p.m. ET. But they're not the only ones with a shot to win. Three other golfers − Brian Harman, Si Woo Kim and Sepp Straka − are just one stroke behind Scheffler at 13 under. Five more are tied at 12 under.
