After that, Chris Gotterup, from Little Silver, N.J. and fresh off his Scottish Open victory on Sunday, is 5-under, along with Harris English, Bob MacIntyre, Tyrrell Hatton and Rasmus Hojgaard. Tony Finau and Nicolai Hojgaard are 4-under.

But no one could go extremely low. Jacob Skov Olesen, the British Amateur champion last year from Denmark, was the first player to get to 5 under until a bogey at the last. He was joined at 67 by Li Haotong of China, and then Fitzpatrick joined the group with his marvelous chip-in.
