Tommy Fleetwood carded a third-round 67 to sit two shots behind leader Jackson Suber at the RBC Canadian Open. The Englishman's three-under-par round positioned him in a four-way tie at 11 under, keeping him within striking distance heading into Sunday's finale. Fleetwood opened with an eagle at the par-five first, then added birdies at the 12th and 14th holes to maintain his challenge.

Suber claimed the outright lead with a 66, highlighted by a 348-yard drive setting up birdie at the par-five 18th. His first 54-hole lead at a PGA Tour event gives him a chance to secure his maiden victory. Bud Cauley sits one shot clear of Fleetwood's group at 12 under, while Billy Horschel fired a 64 featuring a remarkable 99-foot putt birdie on the par-four 521-yard hole.

Pro debutant Ben James suffered a dramatic collapse, posting an eight-over 78 that eliminated him from contention after leading through 36 holes. Meanwhile, Wyndham Clark produced the round of the day with a flawless seven-under 63 containing seven birdies and no bogeys, joining Fleetwood at 11 under.

Fleetwood's only setback came at the difficult 17th hole, where he failed to save par after finding rough. With several players within two shots, Sunday's final round promises a competitive shootout at Oakdale.
