Justin Rose took a step closer to the world number one spot after snatching the lead at the BMW Championship with a six-under round of 64. The American sits a shot off the pace with Rory McIlroy, who recovered from a second-round slip-up with a round of 63. The best round of the day saw Tommy Fleetwood's 62 put him on 15 under overall, tying the Englishman in fourth with Rickie Fowler of the US. A win in Philadelphia should be enough for Rose to take the crown of world number one from Dustin Johnson. The American, along with world number two Brooks Koepka, were tied in 33rd after round three on eight under overall.
