Harry Hall survived back-to-back double bogeys to head into the final round of the Charles Schwab Challenge tied for the lead in pursuit of his first PGA Tour victory.<\/p>\n

The 25-year-old Cornish rookie heads into the final round alongside American Adam Schenk with Harris English a shot further back.<\/p>\n

With the scoring average at Colonial Country Club rising to more than one over par in the third round as the greens toughened up, Hall opened with a three-stroke lead and five straight pars before he hit trouble \u2013 an errant approach at the sixth and an iron into a muddy creek at the seventh leading to a pair of sixes.<\/p>\n

Two birdies on the way home gave him a round of 72 and a place in the final pairing with Schenk \u2013 also chasing his first win after six years on tour \u2013 who shot a bogey-free 67 to tie at 10 under par.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m never going to stop fighting,\u201d Hall said. \u201cI\u2019m always going to keep trying.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis game brings you new challenges every day and I\u2019m equipped to deal with them. I think I showed that today, I kept a lot of patience and I kept to my game plan.<\/a>\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m ready. Just get on the green and make some putts.<\/a>\u201d<\/p>\n

English was on course for a share of the lead before bogeying the last to lie a shot behind.<\/p>\n

American Justin Suh and Emiliano Grillo of Argentina are three strokes further back with Viktor Hovland among a group on five under par.<\/p>\n

England\u2019s Aaron Rai shot a third round 67 to be tied for 10th in a group on four under par which includes world number one Scottie Scheffler after his 72, a score matched by Justin Rose who is a shot further back.<\/p>\n
