BMW PGA Championship winner Alex Noren reacts to injury replacement Ryder Cup question

Fichardt -15, Hall -12, Hovland -14 (16)

Viktor Hovland is close at the 16th but his birdie putt just slides by. 

Four back with two to play? Race run. 

Noren -18, Saddier -18, Hatton -15 (16)

Alex Noren, Adrien Saddier and Tyrrell Hatton find fairway at the par-4 16th. 

Fitzpatrick -14, Ferguson -16, Reed -15 (16)

Matthew Fitzpatrick grabs a birdie on the 16th. 

Noren -18, Saddier -18, Hatton -15 (14)

Adrien Saddier plays a big cut to the front edge of the green. A good shot, and a good chance to save his par. 

Tyrrell Hatton's approach is right at the flag, but a little short. 

Noren is in the first cut of rough by the side of the green. 

Ferguson -16, Reed -15 (16)

Ewen Ferguson misses the green with his second at the par-4 16th. That could prove costly. 

He chips onto the green and his golf ball rolls out to about 12 feet. 

The Scot gets a Reed from Patrick as the American misses his birdie chance. 

Ferguson needs a big finish... 

Noren -18, Saddier -18, Hatton -15 (15*)

Fore shouts at the 15th for Adrien Saddier. 

It's not immediately clear where his ball landed - but it transpires it landed in the hood of a spectator's jacket. 

He'll be able to take a drop. 

How fortunate is that?! 

A. Rai -16 (17*)

Fore right! Aaron Rai bails out right at the par-5 17th with his tee shot. 

He can't reach in two from there. Doesn't look like the best lie either. 

Noren -18, Saddier -18, Hatton -15 (14)

Noren does extremely well to get his ball onto the green after finding a plugged lie in the bunker. 

The Swede holds his nerve from 12-foot to remain at 18-under. 

Can Saddier join him at the top? Yes. The Frenchman enjoyed that. 

Hatton's effort is low and he ticks off a par. Feels his race is run now... 

Fitzpatrick -13, Ferguson -16, Reed -15 (15)

Scotland's Ewen Ferguson isn't going away. 

A 20-foot birdie putt just catches enough of the hole at the 15th. 

Fitzpatrick lips out for his birdie. 

Fichardt -15, Hall -12, Hovland -14 (14)

We mentioned Viktor Hovland was close at the 14th. 

He converts the birdie putt and is now four back with plenty of scoring chances remaining. 

Grandstand finish?

Noren -18, Saddier -17, Hatton -15 (14*)

Onto the par-3 14th for the final group. 

Saddier hits a beauty. Gasps from the gallery as Noren finds the trap. 

What can Hatton muster? He hates it. It's pin-high, but too far away for his liking. 

The heavens have opened now...

Noren -18, Saddier -17, Hatton -15 (13)

The unflappable Alex Noren re-stakes the lead at the 13th, courtesy of a 16-foot birdie putt. 

Saddier is marginally closer and thinks he's got his three, too, but it just grazes the edge. 

A perplexed and angry Hatton makes par after another presentable birdie chance goes begging.

The Englishman is running out of holes. 

Fichardt -15, Hall -11, Hovland -13 (14*)

Viktor Hovland has smile on his face. 

That's because at long last a birdie putt drops at the 13th.

He moves to 13-under and is going flag-hunting at the 14th. That looks like seven or so feet.

Has he run out of holes though?

Jon Rahm has been speaking to reporters after posting a total score of 13-under. 

The Spaniard, unsurprisingly, was quizzed about Europe's chances at the 2025 Ryder Cup. 

Rahm said miracles have happened twice. 

"Got to have faith," he said. 

"I think we're playing good enough and we are n a good and strong enough team to face what we are going to face at Bethpage and hopefully end up with the Cup."

Noren -17, Saddier -17, Hatton -15 (12)

Aaron Rai is now one shot behind after Alex Noren and Adrien Saddier make birdies at the 12th. 

Hatton also makes his four. 

A. Rai -16 (14)

Aaron Rai hasn't dropped a shot today. 

He's also made six birdies. 

The latest drops at the par-3 14th. 

Who is going to take this?

Fichardt -15, Hall -12, Hovland -12 (12)

It's all gone quiet for Harry Hall and Viktor Hovland. 

Darren Fichardt is up to a tie for third, though, thanks to a birdie at the 12th. 

M. Woo Lee -13 (17)

Where did that come from? Min Woo Lee unravels at the 17th. 

His tee shot flies out of bounds and he ends up with a double-bogey. 

Noren -16, Saddier -16, Hatton -14 (10)

At long last, a birdie putt drops at the 10th for Adrien Saddier. 

Alex Noren and Tyrrell Hatton register pars. 

Onto the 11th...

M. Woo Lee -15 (16)

Another birdie drops for the Australian at the 16th. 

The chef is cooking now. 

Noren -16, Saddier -15, Hatton -14 (9)

Saddier is first up at the par-3 10th. 

The Frenchman hits a beauty and will have about 12 feet for birdie. 

Alex Noren airmails the green and Tyrrell Hatton is in the rough just short of the green. 

Hatton swears loudly as he marches up towards his ball. 

M. Woo Lee -14 (15)

Min Woo Lee dropped a shot at the 14th and it looked as though he was going to

 drop another one over at the par-4 15th as he came up well short of the green with his approach. 

No problem though, as he chips in for an unlikely - and timely - birdie three. 

Noren -16, Saddier -15, Hatton -14 (9)

Adrien Saddier makes his ninth par in a row. 

In truth, he's done really well to remain at 15-under as he has been forced to scramble for par plenty. 

Noren finds the heart of the green and walks off with a four. Hatton also holds his nerve from four feet to save his par. 

Nine to go... 

Rahm -13 (66)

Jon Rahm posts the clubhouse target of 13-under. 

The Spaniard can't convert a birdie putt from nine feet at the last. 

We're fairly certain this wasn't the finish Rahm envisioned as he made the turn...
