EUROPEAN TOUR COMMUNICATIONS
Matthew Fitzpatrick remains on course for a wire-to-wire maiden victory in the British Masters supported by Sky Sports after a three under par 68 gave him a share of the lead with Kiradech Aphibarnrat heading into the final round.
The 21 year old Englishman, who iFis the youngest player in the field, dropped his only shot of the day on the second hole but then carded four birdies to move to 12 under par for the tournament at Woburn Golf Club.
He is joined at the top of the leaderboard by Thailand’s Aphibarnrat, who posted a bogey-free round of 67 to strengthen his chances of a second victory on British soil this year, following his early-August victory in the Saltire Energy Paul Lawrie Match Play at Murcar Links
Paraguay’s Fabrizio Zanotti and Denmark’s Søren Kjeldsen are one shot off the lead on 11 under par after rounds of 66 and 69 respectively, while former World Number One Luke Donald is three shots off the pace in a share of fifth position after picking up six shots in the space of nine holes in his bogey-free round of 65. Tournament host Ian Poulter is seven shots back on five under par after birdieing the closing hole for a round of 70.
Key player quotes
Matthew Fitzpatrick – 68 (-12 total)
“It was a battle out there. I have to admit I didn't feel like I played my best. I never really felt like I was threatening any of the flags out there. I just played fairly steady really. I didn't hit so many great shots, but managed to find the green and get off with two putts when I could, and holed the putts when I needed to.
“I have no doubt it's going to take a low one to win tomorrow. It’s bunched at the top, so I just have to see how it goes. I saw the stat this morning that some great names have won wire-to-wire. It would be nice to add mine to that. That is obviously something in the back of my mind, but I have just go out and play good golf.
“It was a big crowd and the support has been absolutely fantastic this week. It's great to have an event back in the U.K. I know there have been a couple already this year but this has been really special this week, and for me to be leading is really nice.”
Kiradech Aphibarnrat – 67 (-12 total)
“If you compare it with other European Tour golf courses, this course is quite narrow. So just keep the ball in play. If you get yourself in fairway, you have a chance on this course. In the practice round I said to my caddie, four-under every day would be good to finish in the top three. That’s how I've been doing in the first three rounds.  Just one more day, so make another 67.
“I love to be here in Britain, love to come back, nice weather. People very nice and golf courses in great condition.”
Luke Donald – 65 (-9 total)
“It's always nice to play in front of great crowds like we've got this week. They have been very supportive. I would just love to win any tournament to be honest, but it would be a little bit more special coming here in the U.K. It's been a little bit of a dry period for me. I haven't won for a couple years, but I would love to dearly get back into that winner's circle."
