Third round Saturday, May 17, 2025
World number one Scottie Scheffler shot 65, the low round of the day, to take the lead at 11-under-par. At the par-4 14th, he hit his tee shot to within 3 feet of the hole and made eagle. He birdied three of his final four holes to establish a three-shot advantage over Alex Norén.

In 39 previous major starts, his best finish was a tie for sixth at the 2017 Open Championship.
Two-time major champion and 2024 PGA Championship runner-up Bryson DeChambeau held the outright lead after 15 holes, but dropped three shots in the closing stretch, including hitting his tee shot into the water on 17, to fall back to 5-under-par.
