Alex Fitzpatrick placed his ball on the 18th green during the second round of the Truist Championship on May 8, 2026, in Charlotte, North Carolina.
England’s Alex Fitzpatrick fired a 7-under-par 64 on Saturday in Charlotte to seize the lead after three rounds of the Truist Championship. He sits at 14-under 199, holding a one-shot advantage over Norway’s Kristoffer Reitan, who carded a bogey-free 64, and a two-shot lead over Cameron Young, who posted a 63.
The day saw significant movement on the leaderboard at Quail Hollow Club, the venue that hosted the PGA Championship last May. Fitzpatrick reached 6 under for the round through 12 holes, tying for the lead. He birdied the 12th and 15th holes, but momentum stalled with a bogey on the 16th after finding a greenside bunker. He responded with an 8-foot birdie putt on the next hole.
Cameron Young, who won the Cadillac Championship wire-to-wire last weekend in Miami, eagled the par-5 seventh hole with a 28-foot putt. His only bogey came at the final hole.
Denmark’s Nicolai Hojgaard (67) and South Korea’s 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 posted scores below 70 in all three rounds. The start of the third round was delayed due to morning storms, marking the second time in three days that weather disrupted the schedule.
