Shane Lowry and Sepp Straka are tied at the top of the leaderboard as the Truist Championship heads into its final day. Both players showcased exceptional skill and determination in the third round, setting the stage for an intense showdown.

Lowry, the 2019 Open Champion, carded a three-under par 67, including five birdies and two bogeys. His final birdie on the 17th hole brought him level with Straka, who shot an impressive 66. Lowry expressed confidence in his game, stating, "I'm driving the ball pretty straight, not very far but it's going on the fairway, and once I get myself on the fairway I can be dangerous."

Straka, Lowry's European Ryder Cup teammate, also demonstrated his prowess on the course. The Austrian golfer's consistent performance has kept him in contention, and he remains a strong contender for the title.

Defending champion Rory McIlroy is six shots off the lead after a mixed round of 69. McIlroy, who has previously won this event four times at Quail Hollow, is still within striking distance and could make a move on the final day.

Other notable performances include Hideki Matsuyama, who shot a remarkable 63 with nine birdies, moving him to 10 under par. Tommy Fleetwood also impressed with a three-under 67, positioning himself at seven under.

As the tournament reaches its climax, all eyes will be on Lowry and Straka as they battle for the championship title. With both players in top form, the final day promises to be a thrilling conclusion to this prestigious event.
