Martin Dempster reports from The Albany Club after day three of the Hero World Challenge.

Transcript

00:00 Hello, it's Martin Dempster, the Scotsman Golf Correspondent here, coming to you from

00:06 the Bahamas, where the third round of the Hero World Challenge has just finished.

00:15 World number one, Scotty Scheffler, who's finished second to Victor Hovland, the last

00:22 two stagings of this event.

00:24 He takes a three-shot lead into Sunday's final round, having moved to 16 under par, with

00:31 a 65 today.

00:34 That was matched by Englishman Matt Fitzpatrick, and he's Scheffler's closest challenger going

00:41 into the final 18 holes at the Albany Resort near Nassau.

00:48 Fitzpatrick has been bidding to extend a run of European success in this event.

00:56 It's been won the last four stagings, in fact, by a player from Europe.

01:02 Fitzpatrick will be going all out to try and add another victory in that run tomorrow.

01:08 Tiger Woods, the tournament host, he shot a one under par 71 today, to set 16 shots

01:17 off the lead.

01:18 Tiger felt that his play today deserved a bit better than that, but there's still signs

01:24 that he's a little bit rusty.

01:26 This of course is his first start since the Masters in April.

01:31 All in all, I think Tiger's going to take a lot out of this week, especially the fact

01:35 that this is the first event he's played since he underwent ankle surgery after the Masters,

01:44 and there's no doubt that he's moving more freely than he did prior to that.

01:50 That's going to be a big boost for him, and he'll be looking to sign off on a high tomorrow.
