Fitzpatrick bounced back from a slow start to shoot 3-under 68 Saturday. He&#8217;s 17 under, three shots clear of World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, who sits in solo second. Fitzpatrick is seeking his second win of the season, his second win at the RBC Heritage and his fourth career PGA Tour victory.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"gpd-1776547407890\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_ba\"\/> Matt Fitzpatrick sinks chip for eagle at the 15th<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">After holing a putt from off the green for birdie at No. 14, Matt Fitzpatrick chipped in for eagle at the 15th to get to 17 under. Suddenly, he&#8217;s the leader by three with three holes to play in the third round.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"gpd-1776547004740\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_ba\"\/> Harris English hits spectacular approach, converts birdie at No. 15<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Harris English hit this absolute beauty on the 15th and rolled in the putt for birdie to get back to 12 under and within three shots of the lead as of 5:15 p.m. ET Saturday.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"gpd-1776546039717\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_ba\"\/> Matt Fitzpatrick makes unlikely birdie at No. 14, takes solo lead<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Matt Fitzpatrick rolled one in from off the green at the par-3 14th to get to 1 under for the day and 15 under for the tournament. He&#8217;s the solo leader once again as of 5 p.m. ET, one shot clear of Scottie Scheffler.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"gpd-1776545587228\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_ba\"\/> Scottie Scheffler birdies 18th, shoots 64<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">The World No. 1 looked a lot like the World No. 1 on Saturday at Harbour Town. Scottie Scheffler made eight birdies to offset a lone bogey en route to a 7-under 64. Scheffler began the day seven shots behind 36-hole leader Matt Fitzpatrick but walked off the 18th green tied with him at 14 under.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"gpd-1776544966760\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_ba\"\/> Fitzpatrick regains solo lead with birdie at No. 12<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Matt Fitzpatrick, the 36-hole leader, got back to even par on the day and regained the solo lead at the RBC Heritage with a birdie at the par-4 12th. He&#8217;s one shot clear of a four-way tie for second as of 4:45 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"gpd-1776543928729\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_ba\"\/> Scottie Scheffler ties the lead again at the RBC Heritage<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Scottie Scheffler made his seventh birdie of the day at the par-4 16th to get to 13 under and into a three-way tie for the lead with Matt Fitzpatrick and Brian Harman as of 4:25 p.m. ET on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"gpd-1776544127234\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_ba\"\/> Andrew Novak shoots 65 to put himself in contention<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Andrew Novak will be defending his title next week at the Zurich Classic alongside teammate Ben Griffin, but before he heads to New Orleans, Novak has an important Sunday ahead of him. He made three bogeys Saturday at the RBC Heritage but offset them with seven birdies and an eagle en route to a 6-under 65. He was part of a four-way tie for third when he signed his scorecard just before 4:30 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">&#8220;It&#8217;s a bunched leaderboard,&#8221; Novak said. &#8220;Nobody has really separated yet. I&#8217;m going to be maybe a few shots back going into tomorrow, but it&#8217;s going to take a pretty low one, I think, because there&#8217;s enough guys up there, somebody is going to put together a pretty good round.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">&#8220;I think I kind of got to go in with the same kind of attack mentality as today and get it going, go post a number, and see how guys handle the wind late.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"gpd-1776542922349\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_ba\"\/> Si Woo Kim makes long birdie putt to get within one<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Si Woo Kim shot 4-under 32 on the front nine but stumbled with a bogey at the 12th. He bounced right back by draining this long birdie putt at No. 13 and he&#8217;s one off the lead as of 4:05 p.m. ET Saturday.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"gpd-1776542581794\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_ba\"\/> Matt Fitzpatrick capitalizes on fortuitous bounce at No. 9<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Matt Fitzpatrick pulled driver on No. 9 and roped one toward the left side of the drivable green. It looked as if it was heading straight for the bunker, but instead it took a wild hop and caromed to the back side of the putting surface. He two-putted for birdie to regain a share of the lead.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"gpd-1776539679326\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_ba\"\/> Brian Harman fires 63 to take clubhouse lead Saturday<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Brian Harman made birdie on four of his last five holes to cap off an 8-under 63 in the third round of the RBC Heritage. He is the leader in the clubhouse and was tied at the top with Matt Fitzptarick at 13 under when he signed his scorecard just before 3:15 p.m. ET Saturday.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"gpd-1776538900164\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_ba\"\/> Brian Harman holes out from bunker, joins tie for lead<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">We have a four-way tie at the top as of 3 p.m. ET on Saturday at the RBC Heritage.

Scheffler&#8217;s birdie capped off a 5-under 31 on the front nine.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"gpd-1776536070381\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_ba\"\/> Matt Fitzpatrick and Viktor Hovland open with bogey<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">The final pairing of 36-hole leader Matt Fitzpatrick and Viktor Hovland has teed off and the third round of the RBC Heritage is fully underway. It was not an ideal start for either man, as both made bogey to drop one shot back toward the rest of the field. A day that started as a two-horse race has rapidly turned into a tightly-contested tournament with dozens of players in contention.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"gpd-1776535845593\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_ba\"\/> Scottie Scheffler makes 5th birdie, pulls within two<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Scottie Scheffler is on fire. The World No. 1 and 2024 RBC Heritage champion made his fifth birdie of the day at the par-4 sixth to get to 12 under and within two of Matt Fitzpatrick&#8217;s lead as of 2:10 p.m. ET Saturday.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"gpd-1776535427784\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_ba\"\/> Collin Morikawa falls over after bunker shot, still finds the green<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Collin Morikawa lost his balance but still managed to find the green on this incredible bunker shot.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"gpd-1776534547750\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_ba\"\/> Scottie Scheffler is charging on moving day<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler made four birdies in his first five holes Saturday to get to 11 under for the tournament and into solo third, four shots off the lead as of 1:50 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"gpd-1776534682789\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_ba\"\/> Gary Woodland goes eagle-birdie to jump into top 5<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Gary Woodland made an eagle at the par-5 second and birdie at the third to get to 10 under and into a tie for fourth as of 1:50 p.m. ET Saturday.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"gpd-1776533697094\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_ba\"\/> Leaderboard bunching up behind Fitzpatrick, Hovland<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Matt Fitzpatrick (14 under) and Viktor Hovland (13 under) still have about 20 minutes until their tee time, but the leaderboard is already bunching up behind them with a slew of heavy hitters putting themselves in contention on moving day. As of 1:35 p.m. ET, there are four players tied for third at 10 under and 11 players tied for seventh at 9 under.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"gpd-1776531451246\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_ba\"\/> Scottie Scheffler, Collin Morikawa tee off for third round<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Scottie Scheffler and Collin Morikawa are playing together Saturday at the RBC Heritage, both beginning the day at 7 under and seven shots off the lead. Scheffler opened his third round with a birdie at the first, while Morikawa made par. This will be a pairing to keep an eye on, as both players are prime candidates to make a big move on moving day.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"gpd-1776527865185\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_ba\"\/> Jordan Spieth&#8217;s putter is heating up at Harbour Town<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Jordan Spieth struggled on the greens last week at Augusta, but this week he has been wielding the flatstick like a champ (unfortunately, he&#8217;s been all over the place tee-to-green). The 2022 RBC Heritage champ is having a solid day thus far at Harbour Town. He&#8217;s 3 under through 15 holes thanks in part ot back-to-back birdies at Nos. 8 and 9.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"gpd-1776527273153\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_ba\"\/> RBC Heritage Saturday weather forecast<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">It&#8217;s looking like another mighty fine weather day on Hilton Head Island. The forecast calls for high temperatures around 80 degrees with sunny skies and 0% chance of rain. The wind could pose a challenge to the players late in the day, though, with a 10-15 mph breeze coming from the south.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"gpd-1776527950476\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_ba\"\/> RBC Heritage third round hole locations<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Here&#8217;s a look at where the pins will be set for Saturday&#8217;s third round action at Harbour Town:<\/p>\n<p>How to watch the RBC Heritage<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Here&#8217;s the TV and streaming info for Saturday&#8217;s third round of the RBC Heritage:<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"gnt_ar_b_a__rb gnt_ar_b_a__rbs\" href=\"https:\/\/go.web.plus.espn.com\/6eQWqK\" data-v-afl=\"\" data-t-l=\"\u2691f:body nav - reviewed button|outbound links|buy now click|go.web.plus.espn.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\">Get PGA Tour Live on ESPN+<\/a> <a class=\"gnt_ar_b_a__rb\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fubo.tv\/stream\/tv\/?irad=343747&amp;irmp=1205322&amp;subId1=SMG&amp;subId2=Golfweek&amp;subId3=2025\" data-v-afl=\"\" data-t-l=\"\u2691f:body nav - reviewed button|outbound links|buy now click|www.fubo.tv\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\">Watch Golf Channel for free on Fubo<\/a>Matt Fitzpatrick leads RBC Heritage through 36 holes<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\"><a href=\"http:\/\/golfweek.usatoday.com\/story\/sports\/golf\/pga\/2026\/03\/15\/players-2026-matt-fitzpatrick-crowd-fans\/89172521007\/\" data-t-l=\":b|e|k|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_a\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Matt Fitzpatrick<\/a>\u00a0is back at his happy place, the Low Country resort that his family visited as a kid for vacations from England.
