Alex Noren and Adrien Saddier share the lead heading into the final round of the BMW PGA Championship.

With several big names falling by the wayside on Saturday, in-form Frenchman Saddier fired a brilliant 65 to take the clubhouse lead on 15-under par.

He was joined at the top by British Masters champion Noren, who continued his remarkable form following several months out with injury.

Noren, the 2017 winner at Wentworth carded a high-quality 66 in the third round.

European Ryder Cup star Tyrrell Hatton is also in the hunt for his second win in the DP World Tour’s flagship event, the 2020 champion making six birdies in a back-nine 31 to return a 64 on day three.

Viktor Hovland, Matt Fitzpatrick and Ludvig Aberg are also within striking range along with former Masters champion Patrick Reed, but halfway leader Hideki Matsuyama and home favourite Justin Rose plummeted down the leaderboard after horrible third rounds.

Matsuyama and Rose were a combined 8-over par on Saturday and both will need something special to challenge for the title.

Jon Rahm and Shane Lowry are eight shots off the pace along with Rose, while Rory McIlroy is 10 behind.
