Matt Wallace Maintains Position Atop Leaderboard at 2017 Italian Open

England's golf stars continued to impress at the 2017 Italian Open on Saturday as Matt Wallace kept his place atop the leaderboard on 17 under par, although compatriot Tyrell Hatton sits only two strokes off the summit.

Wallace led after Friday's second round and remains the man to beat heading into Sunday's finale, but birthday boy Hatton closed the gap and sits joint-second with home favourite Francesco Molinari after carding an impressive 65.

Even that score couldn't match the exploits of some other English stars, however, as Tommy Fleetwood and Matthew Fitzpatrick blitzed up the leaderboard with respective third-round scores of eight-under and seven-under.
