European Ryder Cup vice-captain Alex Noren and Frenchman Adrien Saddier began the final round two shots clear at the top of the leaderboard.
England's Tyrrell Hatton is also in the hunt alongside his Ryder Cup teammates Viktor Hovland, Jon Rahm and Matthew Fitzpatrick.
Masters champion Rory McIlroy was among the early starters this morning and made a stunning charge up the leaderboard, playing his first 12 holes in 5-under par.
McIlroy finished with a flourish, making eagle at the 72nd hole post a 65 and finish on 12-under.

Noren -17, Saddier -15, Hatton -14 (4)
Tyrrell Hatton can't believe it. His birdie putt horseshoes in and out of the hole.
That's a par. In truth, it could have been so much worse.
Noren finds his birdie, though, and is now two shots clear.
Saddier takes par.
Hatton -14 (4*)
Over at the 4th, Tyrrell Hatton finds his golf ball and chips back into play.
But he believes his golf ball may be cracked and asked a rules official if he can change it.
Said official is not convinced, though, and tells Hatton to carry on.
From 76 yards, Hatton sets up a decent look at birdie...
R. McIlroy -12 (65)
Not Rory McIlroy's week, but he gives the spectators at Wentworth a grandstand finish with an eagle at the last.
That's a 65 for the Northern Irishman.
Not quite the roar we heard last week in Ireland, but still...

Rahm -13 (13)
Jon Rahm is trying to get closer to the leaders.
The Spaniard hits a towering iron shot into the 13th that zips back towards the hole.
Can he find a birdie from 15 feet? Nope.
He remains three behind.
11th: birdie

McIlroy -10 (18*)
Rory McIlroy finds fairway at the 18th.
He doesn't like his approach, but it catches the edge of the green and trickles towards the cup.
He'll have 20 feet for eagle...
Fichardt -12, Hall -11, Hovland -13 (4)
Viktor Hovland is muttering to himself.
He can't believe he's just left his eagle putt well short.
He tidies up for birdie, though.
Hall and Fichardt also make fours.
Reitan -13 (6)
Birdies are dropping everywhere.
Kristoffer Reitan picks up his fourth birdie in six holes at the 6th.
Hatton -14 (4)
Tyrrell Hatton and his playing partners have reached the par-5 4th.
He'll do well to escape with a par from here, though, as his drive is so far right it could potentially be out of bounds...
Rai -13 (5)
It feels like this tournament is up for grabs.
Aaron Rai picks up his third birdie of the day at the par-3 5th to join the group of four players on 13-under.
Fitzpatrick -12, Ferguson -13, Reed -12 (4)
It's heating up nicely now.
Matthew Fitzpatrick has been quiet until this point but he joins the group on 12-under with an eagle at the 4th.
The Englishman fired a dart to three feet.
His playing partners also pick up birdies.
McIlroy -10 (17)
The galleries watching Rory McIlroy this week have been huge - which is absolutely no surprise.
He gives them reason to cheer with a bounce-back birdie at the 17th.
One hole left for the Northern Irishman...

Rahm -13 (12)
Jon Rahm nearly sinks to his knees.
An eagle putt inside feet lips out.
He's only three back now...
Noren -16, Saddier -15, Hatton -14 (3)
Alex Noren just loves playing here, doesn't he?
The Swede holes a 16-footer at the 3rd to take the outright lead by one stroke.
Hatton also responds with his first birdie of the day.
Rahm -12 (11)
A fifth birdie of the day drops for the Spaniard at the 11th.
Plenty of time for the 2023 Masters champ to set a good score...
Fichardt -11, Hall -10, Hovland -11 (3)
Viktor Hovland pays the price for a loose tee shot at the 3rd.
Hall and Fichartd settle for pars.
McIlroy -9 (16)
Rory McIlroy's momentum is halted at the 16th.
Fitzpatrick -10, Ferguson -12, Reed -11 (3)
Super stuff from the Scot, Ewen Ferguson, who finds his second birdie of the day over at the 3rd to move within two of the lead.
Fitzpatrick and LIV Golf recruit Patrick Reed settle for pars.
Fleetwood -8 (67)
Simply not Tommy Fleetwood's week.
The Englishman made the cut on the number on Friday, courtesy of a birdie putt on the 18th green that sent the fans wild.
He's played nicely over weekend and comes close to capping off his week with an eagle.
Noren -15, Saddier -15, Hatton -13 (2)
Saddier plays a neat little chip to about six feet and tidies up his par.
Hatton is visibly annoyed as his birdie putt drifts right at the last second.
Noren also misses out on a chance to get to take the outright lead.
McIroy -10 (16*)
McIlroy finds fairway at the 16th but has work to do to save his par.
His approach flies the green...
A. Noren -15, T. Hatton -13, A. Saddier -15 (2*)
Hatton, Noren and Saddier depart the long par-4 1st with pars.
Hatton takes dead aim at the par-3 2nd - it's a beauty.
Noren is also close.
Saddier has gone long and right...
Fichardt -11, Hall -10, Hovland -12 (2)
Saddier does well to make his par despite coming up well short with his birdie putt.
Likewise Harry Hall.
Hovland is closest and makes no mistakes. Centre cup.
Right then, what is your verdict?
Who wins the BMW PGA Championship?

McIlroy -10 (15)
Rory McIlroy's short birdie putt at the 15th misses left.
Final stretch now for the Masters champ.
Fichardt -11, Hall -10, Hovland -11 (1)
Viktor Hovland gets off to the worst possible start with a dropped shot.
The Norwegian gave himself a 20-foot birdie putt but raced it past and missed it coming back.
Pars for his playing partners.
