Brandon Robinson Thompson surges into Turkish Open lead ahead of final round
England's Brandon Robinson Thompson equalled the Regnum Carya course record to surge into a three-shot lead going into the final round of the Turkish Open. Robinson Thompson's nine-under-par 62 saw him reach 14 under for the week, three clear of Spain's Jorge Campillo, China's Haotong Li and South African Robin Williams. Starting the day five shots off the lead, Robinson Thompson burst out of the blocks with three birdies in his first five holes. Another fine approach to six feet at the ninth saw him turn in 30 and he chipped in for eagle at the 12th, before birdieing three of the last four holes. "I've just got notified of that (the course record) and I'm a bit bummed I didn't break it," said the 32-year-old. "I'm super excited to have a nice round and the scary part was I probably could have had a few more but beggars can't be choosers. "I'm here with my wife, we're staying in a beautiful hotel, the course is amazing. "It's hard not to enjoy yourself this week - the facilities are so good. I'm here with my wife, its such an incredible place, if you're not having a good time this week win, lose or draw, there's something wrong."

FLOURTOWN, Pa. — Keith Mitchell led a birdie spree at the Truist Championship on Thursday, shooting a career-best 9-under 61 to shatter the course record at the Philadelphia Cricket Club. The previous Wissahickon Course record of 65 was shared by Colin St Maxen, Zac Blair and Angus Flanagan. The 7,100-yard A.W. Tillinghast design with modest par 4s and gettable pin placements fell victim to the long hitters and aggressive shots with short irons and wedges.
