How will Robert MacIntyre handle the back 9?
MacIntyre -13, Scheffler -14 (10*)
Both players walk off the 9th green with pars.
MacIntyre appears to have settled down a bit now.
Holes are running out, though, and Scheffler has the lead.
20:37
Rickie Fowler, anyone?
R. Fowler -10 (11)
Superb stuff from Rickie Fowler today, who is playing his way into the Tour Championship.
Another birdie drops for the American over at the 10th. He follows with a par at the 11th.
He's only four back...
20:35
Average from MacIntyre
MacIntyre -13, Scheffler -14 (9*)
Robert MacIntyre hits an 8-iron towards the 9th green.
It's an okay shot. Not a great look at birdie, but should escape without a blemish.
Scottie Scheffler chips a 9-iron - and that's very poor by his standards. Looks about 25 feet...
20:31
Some shot by Rory McIlroy
Rory McIlroy is having a quiet week by his standards.
He's just provided a bit of magic over at the 11th, though...
Rory McIlroy just drove the green on a par 4 with a 3-wood

Scheffler finds another fairway
MacIntyre -13, Scheffler -14 (9*)
Now then, how will Scheffler respond to that miss?
He opts for driver at the 9th and finds the fairway. Again.
Bob also takes the chief. He still can't find the fairway.
His golf ball appears destined for the fairway bunker but is gobbled up by the rough.
It looks like it is sitting up, though.
20:27
Huge par save from Bob
MacIntyre -13, Scheffler -14 (8)
Robert MacIntyre plays a delightful flop shot that lands on the edge of the green and trickles down towards the hole.
He makes no mistake from six feet. And that is a huge par save.
Now Scheffler from five feet to lead by two.
He misses!
20:21
"Right at it, shocking"
MacIntyre -13, Scheffler -14 (8*)
MacIntyre is away first and he misses the green right. More thick rough.
The only positive is that he has plenty of green to work with but his poor round of golf continues.
Meanwhile, Scottie Scheffler takes dead aim from 171 yards.
"It's right at it, shocking," opines Rich Beem on Sky Sports.
Looks like he'll have five feet for birdie...
20:18
Are nerves getting to Bob?
Robert MacIntyre
20:17
Relentless Scheffler
MacIntyre -13, Scheffler -14 (8*)
Scheffler opts for driver off the tee at the 8th and finds the short stuff.

He's only managed to hit one fairway today...

Scottie Scheffler takes the solo lead
MacIntyre -13, Scheffler -14 (7)
MacIntyre is fortunate not to find another bunker with his approach at the 7th.
His golf ball settles in the first cut of rough next to the green.
He plays a tidy putt to gimme range and will take a four.
Scheffler, meanwhile, lands 10 feet from the pin after hitting another stunning iron shot.
He takes 30 seconds to study the putt, which breaks from the right.
Birdie.
We have a new leader.
20:08
Groans from the 9th green
Fleetwood -9 (9)
Audible groans coming from the 9th green.
Tommy Fleetwood misses a golden opportunity to get to 10-under.
20:06
Just stop it, Tommy
Fleetwood -9 (9*)
Wow.
Tommy Fleetwood fires a dart onto the 9th green.
He could get to within three of the lead!
20:05
Here's a look at Scheffler's birdie putt at the 5th...
A 4-stroke lead is now gone after 5 holes.

Don't rule out Sam Burns
Burns -11 (7)
Wow. The plot is thickening here.
Sam Burns hits a dart at the 7th, taps in for birdie, and is now within two of the lead.
20:01
MacIntyre not backing off
MacIntyre -13, Scheffler -13 (7*)

Quality from Scheffler...
MacIntyre -13, Scheffler -13 (6)
MacIntyre's long birdie putt stops short in the jaws. It's the easiest of pars.
Scheffler shows his class by chipping to three feet. It'll be a par for the American also.
Scottie Scheffler
19:57
Tommy Fleetwood not out of this?
T. Fleetwood -9 (8)
A curling birdie putt drops at the 8th for Fleetwood.
Is he too far back? He's got plenty of holes to pile on the pressure...
19:54
MacIntyre responds
MacIntyre -13, Scheffler -13 (6*)
The Scot and the American make their way to the long par-3 6th.
Scheffler goes first and flies the green. He's in the deep rough.
MacIntyre finds the heart of the green.
Could be another swing here...
19:50
Bubble watch
Rickie Fowler came into this week 48th in the FedEx Cup.
He's currently assured of a spot in the Tour Championship, but it is changing by the minute.
Michael Kim is the bubble boy as things stand.
Now projected inside the top 30

With a birdie on the seventh, @RickieFowler is the bubble boy for the @TOURChamp.

19:43
Criminal from MacIntyre
MacIntyre -14, Scheffler -12 (5*)
Scottie Scheffler is in deep conversation with his stand-in caddie Mike Cromie.
He elects to hit a gap wedge and it's another decent approach. About 12 feet for birdie down the hill.
MacIntyre, though, finds the bunker from 87 yards and now has work to do to save his par.
19:39
Perfect tee shots
MacIntyre -14, Scheffler -12 (5*)

Scheffler misses
MacIntyre -14, Scheffler -12 (4)
