BMW PGA Championship winner Alex Noren reacts to injury replacement Ryder Cup question

Fichardt -13, Hall -11, Hovland -12 (9)

Another decent birdie chances for Viktor Hovland goes begging at the 9th. 

M. Woo Lee -13 (14)

Lee can't save his par from 15 feet at the 14th. 

J. Rahm -13 (18*)

Jon Rahm is playing his final hole. 

He finds the fairway at the par-5 18th and flushes his approach, but it's long. 

That's not going to be easy. 

Fitzpatrick -12, Ferguson -12, Reed -14 (8)

Super stuff from the American, who drains a 20-footer from the edge of the green at the 8th to move within two shots of the lead. 

Fitzpatrick also comes up short with his approach and chips to about six feet. He misses, and drops back to 12-under. 

Ferguson misses from eight feet to save his par. 

Rose -6 (73)

Justin Rose was in contention after 36 holes but faded away over the weekend. 

This was his 20th appearance in the BMW PGA Championship. 

How he would love to win this tournament before he retires. 

Don't know about you, but I wouldn't bet against that. 

Noren -16, Saddier -15, Hatton -14 (8)

Three pars at the 8th for the final group. 

Saddier goes first from 20 feet, but he's far too tentative again.

Noren is marginally closer but comes up short. 

Hatton doesn't learn anything from his playing partners' efforts and also trudges off the green with a four. 

Rory McIlroy has just been speaking to reporters about his week at Wentworth. 

McIlroy says it was nice to sign off on a positive note with the Ryder Cup on the horizon. 

"There's been a lot of talk and a lot of chat and a lot of thinking about the Ryder Cup," McIlroy says. 

"But you still want to play well this week. I saw glimpse of that. 

"There was a lot of birdies and eagles and just a few too many bogeys and double-bogeys to have a chance to win but overall, happy with the week and obviously very excited for what's to come in a couple weeks' time."

Rahm -13 (17)

Jon Rahm was going really well until his momentum was halted with a bogey at the 14th. 

The Spaniard gets that shot back at the 17th. 

Can he find an eagle up the last?

M. Couvra -14 (14)

There are so many players in the mix it is genuinely quite difficult to keep up. 

Martin Couvra is one of those, and the Frenchman has just made his third birdie in a row over at the par-3 14th. 

There are now four players two behind leader Alex Noren. 

Noren -16, Saddier -15, Hatton -14 (7)

Tyrrell Hatton misses the 7th green and his golf ball catches the rough with his third. 

Hatton tells himself, and the crowd, that had it flown one yard further it would have been perfect. 

He chips on, but misses his par putt on the high side. 

The inevitable expletives follow. 

Noren two-putts for his par, whilst Saddier drains his five-footer for a four. 

M. Woo Lee -14 (13*)

Australia's Min Woo Lee has played magnificently today. 

The 26-year-old made birdies at 4, 8, 9 and 11 to reach 12-under. 

An eagle at the 12th, though, has lifted him to with two shots of the lead. 

Fichardt -13, Hall -10, Hovland -12 (7)

Viktor Hovland plays a fine approach into the 7th green, but misses a glorious chance from 11 feet. 

Hall and Fichardt also make fours. 

Tyrrell Hatton has a quick chat with Sky Sports as he walks down the 7th fairway. 

"I'm just trying to get myself opportunities on every hole," he says. "I've basically had a birdie putt for the first six holes but unfortunately only two have gone in so far.

"It's going fine. I have a moan and then by the next shot I'm getting really focused and know what I'm trying to do.

"I feel fairly good, somewhat comfortable with my swing. I'm just trying to keep hitting good golf shots. Hopefully some putts will drop."

T. Hatton -15, A. Noren -16, A. Saddier -15 (6)

Tyrrell Hatton has to settle for a par over at the par-4 6th. 

A 16-foot birdie putt dips left at the last moment. 

Noren and Saddier also make pars. 

Fitzpatrick -13, Ferguson -13, Reed -13 (7)

Matthew Fitzpatrick has reason to smile at the 7th. 

The 2022 US Open champion chips in for birdie to move within three of the lead. 

Patrick Reed misses a great chance to grab another birdie. 

Reitan -14 (8)

There's absolutely no doubt Kristoffer Reitan is the hottest player on the West Course right now. 

The 27-year-old Norwegian finds his fifth birdie of the day at the 8th. 

Fichardt -13, Hall -10, Hovland -12 (6)

Viktor Hovland's tee shot at the 6th was so far right he was yelling at the gallery to duck for cover. 

Still, he does well to save par and remain within four strokes of Alex Noren, holing out for par from 14 feet. 

Fichardt makes his first second birdie of the day.

J. Rahm -12 (15)

Rahm finds fairway and green in regulation at the 15th. 

The only problem is Rahm is 40 feet away from the cup. 

He two-putts for par. 

Three left for Rahm... 

Penge -13 (11)

Back-to-back birdies at 10 and 11 for Marco Penge lift the youngster into a tie for sixth. 

Noren -16, Saddier -15, Hatton -15 (5)

Alex Noren gets his lob wedge out and makes clean contact. But his golf ball rolls out to about 25 feet. 

The Swede quickly walks after his par attempt. That was never in. He slips back to 16-under. 

Tyrrell Hatton makes no mistake and moves to within one. 

Saddier scrambles well for his three. 

Noren -17, Saddier -15, Hatton -14 (5*)

Alex Noren's lead could be in danger here. His tee shot at the par-3 5th takes a huge bounce off a footpath. 

He'll do well to make a bogey. 

Hatton responds, as he so often does, with an absolute laser. 

Great chance for Hatton...

Rahm -12 (14)

Jon Rahm is in the bunker over at the par-3 14th. 

He splashes out nicely, but can't save his three from 11 feet. 

That'll take the wind out of his sails...

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...
