Finau finely poised in bid to claim second PGA Tour title in a week

Tony Finau was in prime position to claim his second PGA Tour title in just over a week after shooting a third-round 65 at the Rocket Mortgage Classic to move four strokes ahead.

The American, who on Sunday came from five behind to win the 3M Open and set the tournament record for the largest final-round comeback in Minneapolis, was tied with playing partner Taylor Pendrith of Canada at 21 under going into the final day in Detroit.

"Taylor's playing some great golf," Finau said after play ended on Saturday.

"I can't say we pulled away from the guys, this is the type of golf course where someone can shoot eight, nine, 10 under, but if we put together a good round tomorrow, might be a two-man race and I'm looking forward to the challenge again."

Cameron Young also carded a 65 to finish on 17 under followed one shot back by Germany's Stephan Jager, with FedEx champion and world number four Patrick Cantlay - the top-ranked player - six off the pace.

There are no Irish players in the field for the event.
