Tight Heritage finish looms

MANILA, Philippines — Britain’s Tyrrell Hatton closed with a 24-foot birdie putt Saturday to finish among four co-leaders after the third round of the US PGA Tour’s RBC Heritage tournament.

Mexico’s Abraham Ancer and Americans Webb Simpson and Ryan Palmer shared the lead entering Sunday’s final round of the tour’s second event after a three-month coronavirus hiatus.

Hatton fired a bogey-free eight-under par 63 to stand on 15-under 198 after 54 holes at Harbour Town Golf Links in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina.

Hatton said he hadn’t felt comfortable over the layout but breezed through Saturday.
