England's Tommy Fleetwood heads into the final round of the RBC Heritage just three shots off the lead held by Kim Si-woo.

Fleetwood mixed five birdies with two bogeys in his three-under 68 to improve to 12 under at the Harbour Town Golf Links in South Carolina as he aims for a first PGA Tour victory.

South Korea's Kim started the day two shots behind overnight leader Justin Thomas but had six birdies in his 66 as he moved ahead on 15 under.

Andrew Novak also shot a 66 to finish one behind Kim and alongside Thomas, who is aiming for his first victory since winning his second major at the 2022 US PGA Championship.

Thomas' round also included a one-stroke penalty on the second hole because the PGA Tour said he "caused his ball to move in a waste bunker". Despite the penalty he called on himself, Thomas managed a par.

"It was weird," said Thomas,, external who birdied the last to card a 69. "I was moving some rocks, pebbles and the ball kind of looked like it just moved a little."

World number one and defending champion Scottie Scheffler is on 11 under after a 68 that included two birdies in his final four holes.
