Tyrrell Hatton leads by three at BMW PGA as he tries to live out childhood dream

VIRGINIA WATER, England – After almost nine months in America, Englishman Tyrrell Hatton is on target for a happy homecoming in the BMW PGA Championship – the tournament which inspired him to become a professional.

Hatton will take a three-shot lead over Denmark's JB Hansen and France's Victor Perez into the final round at Wentworth, with Open champion Shane Lowry, Tommy Fleetwood, Patrick Reed and David Horsey another stroke back on Saturday.

Hatton grew up not far from Wentworth and often came to one of the European Tour's flagship events as a spectator, where he went into the final round in 2016 a shot off the lead before finishing seventh.
