Tour Championship: Dustin Johnson leads by five shots after third round

World number one Dustin Johnson built a healthy five-shot lead heading into the final round of the PGA Tour’s season-ending Tour Championship.

The American was a shot clear of Sungjae Im overnight but fired a six-under 64 during the third round, including seven birdies.

Xander Schauffele, after a round of 67, is tied for second place with Justin Thomas, who claimed a four-under 66.

Spain’s Jon Rahm also shot a 66 at the East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta.

Northern Ireland’s Rory McIlroy went round in level par to stay on eight under, 11 shots off the lead, where he was joined by England’s Tyrell Hatton after a one-over 71.

Like the leader, Daniel Berger shot a 64 to climb into the top 10, two shots behind US PGA winner Collin Morikawa who is in fifth place after his 67. (BBC)
