Putting a new driver shaft and mini-driver in the bag, Fleetwood is 16-under, three strokes clear of Russell Henley and Keegan Bradley at 13-under.
“My driver has just been spinning up a little bit. I drove it pretty well this year… actually drove it very well… but it was actually spinning up a little bit, like it just rose,” stated Fleetwood after his third round at the Travelers Championship.
