The tension between the two rose early in the round after Fleetwood double-bogeyed the third hole while Rose made birdie, a three-shot swing that dramatically cut into the 34-year-old's lead.

Fleetwood responded well, rebuilding his lead to three shots. But his advantage narrowed again on the 18th hole, where a drive into the rough led to a bogey.
World number one Scottie Scheffler also hurled himself into contention with six birdies, finishing Saturday two shots off the lead on 65.
JJ Spaun and Andrew Novak are a shot further back, tied for fourth on 11 under par.
Only the top 70 in the season-long FedEx rankings have qualified for the event, although Rory McIlroy opted not to play this week, with the top 50 after the tournament reaching next week's BMW Championship.
The top 30 after that will contest the Tour Championship in pursuit of a 10million dollar (£7.4million) bonus.

Scheffler-McIlroy, Rose-Spaun paired at BMW Championship
August 12 - The top two players in the world will play side by side in the first two rounds of the BMW Championship, as the PGA Tour paired Scottie Scheffler with Rory McIlroy to begin the penultimate tournament of the season. Scheffler and McIlroy are slated to tee off 11:16 a.m. ET on Thursday and 1:38 p.m. on Friday at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta. They're not only 1-2 in the world rankings, but also in the FedEx Cup race as the season winds down. The duo combined to win three of the four major championships this year and Scheffler is the defending FedEx Cup champion, while McIlroy has won it three times. When Scheffler and McIlroy played together in the first two rounds of the PGA Championship, alongside Xander Schauffele, Scheffler shot 5 under par on his way to capturing the major title, while McIlroy struggled to 1 over par and eked into the weekend. This will also mark McIlroy's first tournament since he tied for seventh at the Open Championship, won by Scheffler. McIlroy skipped the FedEx St. Jude Championship, the playoff opener. There is no 36-hole cut at the second playoff leg in Owings Mills, Md., but only the top 30 in the points standings following Sunday will move on to the Tour Championship next week. Schauffele, 43rd in the standings after an injury-interrupted season, needs a stellar finish to crack the top 30. He'll play his first two rounds with Michael Kim. Other notable pairings include Rickie Fowler with Venezuela's Jhonattan Vegas -- Nos. 48 and 49 in the points standings entering the week -- and Englishman Justin Rose with J.J. Spaun. Rose and Spaun went to a playoff at the St. Jude, and Rose prevailed on the third playoff hole to beat the U.S. Open champion. Spaun and Rose sit 3-4 in the season standings. Englishman Tommy Fleetwood, who missed out on that playoff after a late bogey, will play alongside Justin Thomas. --Field Level Media

Tony Bloom makes Derek McInnes Hearts hiring admission as he reveals there's more to transfer strategy than data
McInnes has the jambos top of the table after Bloom insisted that they can spit Celtic and Rangers this season Tony Bloom admits he wasn't involved in the hiring of Derek McInnes at Hearts - but says the Jambos gaffer is vital to what he wants to achieve at Tynecastle. The billionaire Brighton owner, who has invested £10 million into the Gorgie club, has been impressed by the impact McInnes has made since taking over. Bloom has revealed he wasn't part of the recruitment process after Neil Critchley's departure, with Jamestown Analytics and Hearts sporting director Graeme Jones having key roles in McInnes' appointment. But Bloom, who has a 29 percent share at Tynecastle, is a big fan of the manager already and believes he'll be pivotal in any success they have this season. The Englishman has boldly claimed Hearts can split the Old Firm in the Scottish Premiership this term - and is adamant they can win a title in the next 10 years. McInnes has got them off to a flying start with league victories over Aberdeen and Dundee United. And Bloom said: 'There's no doubt that at any football club, the head coach is critical. 'People talk about how important players are but the coach knits it all together in so many different ways. 'The idea is to have a really good manager who understands the club and will improve the players. 'Recruitment of a head coach is just one position. But if for whatever reason, that doesn't go right - the club in that particular season might not do well. 'But I think Derek as Hearts' head coach is a really good appointment. 'From what I've seen from the outside, he's started really well. 'So far, the team has had some superb results and performances. 'I wasn't personally involved in hiring Derek. 'When it comes to the head coach role, Jamestown will have in-depth discussions and give names to Graeme and the board. 'It's then up to Graeme and the board to make the decision. 'With the head coach, there's so many things that go into it and Jamestown Analytics is an advisory service. 'But the Hearts board will ultimately make every decision.' Part of the attraction for Hearts in getting Bloom on board was the access they'd get to Jamestown's renowned data. The Brighton boss believes what that can add to the club's recruitment will help them bridge the financial gap to the Old Firm in Scotland. But Bloom is quick to point out that players won't be signed at Tynecastle based purely on numbers and stats. He's adamant that McInnes will still have a major, hands-on role when it comes to strengthening his squad. And Bloom says only players who understand Hearts and the demands of Scottish football will arrive at the club. He said: 'Jamestown is an advisory service. They wouldn't have an agreement with the club if Hearts weren't using it the right way. 'That doesn't mean it's a case of, here are the players, go and get them. It's not nearly as simple as that. 'There is a lot more that goes into signing players than just the data. It's a really significant part. 'But we all know, you can have a brilliant player and it just doesn't work out. 'For a club like Hearts, they've got to understand and learn the values of the club. 'They've got to be the right person in the dressing room and have the right personality. 'Not every player that comes in is going to tick every box, that's unrealistic. 'What you don't want is somebody coming in who is an excellent player but is a disruptor. Because that can really hurt you as a football club. 'We would certainly always want to speak to the player. And the manager will typically speak to the player, along with the head of recruitment or the sporting director. 'So there's a lot going on. 'I don't know exactly how it will work with Hearts but I've got every confidence that they do a lot of due diligence on players, on top of all the analytics that they get from Jamestown.'

Rickie Fowler needs big BMW to reach Top 30, Ryder Cup consideration
August 12 - Justin Rose, of course, was the biggest winner at last week's FedEx St. Jude Championship. It's hard to beat the combination of collecting a $3.6 million check, clinching a Ryder Cup spot on Team Europe and clutching the sweet trophy. But Rickie Fowler felt like a big winner, too. By earning a share of sixth place in Memphis, Fowler made the biggest leap in the all-important FedEx Cup point standings. He vaulted from 64th place to 48th to capture one of the 50 spots in this week's BMW Championship. Alas, now he has to uncork another remarkable jump at Caves Valley Golf Club in Owings Mills, Md., in order to earn a spot among the 30 golfers who'll compete in next week's Tour Championship. "I don't know the exact numbers of all the ifs, ands or buts," Fowler said after playing a practice round Tuesday, "but I know I need to play well, and I'll see if I can do that." Here's how Fowler's if, ands and buts sort out: He owns 1,032 FedEx Cup points, which trails 30th-place Lucas Glover by 202. Considering the last-place BMW Championship finisher gains 34 points this week, Fowler needs to finish no worse than alone in 13th place (good for 240 points) just to have a chance at the top 30. "You always look at (the) Tour Championship (at) East Lake as a goal," Fowler said. "Ryder Cup was pretty far out there. That's still a long ways out there. I need to play some good golf this week to extend my potential to sneak into (or) even be in the conversation." How good must he play? About as good as it gets. Fowler sits 37th in the Ryder Cup standings with 3,157.26 points, so far down the charts that even winning the BMW Championship cannot propel him into one of the six automatic qualifying spots that will be locked in Sunday night. However, two consecutive strong showings in the playoffs could reinforce to Keegan Bradley that he's playing well enough to receive a captain's pick and suit up for Team USA for the sixth time in the last eight Cups. When offering his recommendations for Team USA, Fowler did almost the opposite of politicking for himself. Or, perhaps, the 36-year-old was just opining as a neutral observer. "Obviously you want guys (on the team) that are playing well or are trending that way," Fowler said. "I mean, two big things at Bethpage, obviously you'd like to look at all the stats and all the guys being top in those categories, but I feel like driving the ball well is something that is very beneficial or needed at Bethpage, and obviously putting when it comes to match play." Team USA hosts the Ryder Cup Sept. 27-29 at Bethpage Black in Farmingdale, N.Y. --Field Level Media
