Matt Fitzpatrick moved a big step closer to a fourth worldwide win of the season after taking a five-shot lead into the final round of the FedEx Open de France.

The Englishman held a one-shot advantage heading into the weekend at Le Golf National but pulled further ahead with a six-under 65 on Saturday afternoon, mixing seven birdies with his first bogey of the week.
