And — finally — that is a wrap. Reed and Pettit hit trouble on 18 holding things up a little, but a sensational eagle, birdie finish will allow Uilhein to take a one-stroke lead over his Smash captain Koepka into Sunday’s final round.
.@PeterUihlein goes eagle, birdie on his last two holes to beat his teammate @BKoepka to the top of the leaderboard. ?

Brooks gets back to 10-under with a birdie on the par-3 16th. Two to go today! Meanwhile Matthew Wolff has snuck up on the inside and sits tied-fourth on seven-under along with Casey, Reed and Schwartzel.

No prizes for guessing who are locked at the top. Both Brooks and Peter steady the ships after those doubles and they are one ahead of Sergiio Garcia.

A twist at the top as Peter takes a double in 13 after finding the water and Brooks follows suit with a double of his own on the same hole after getting into trouble in the scrub. Koepka now leads by one on nine-under from Uihlein, Reed and Sergio.
Brooks drops 2 shots after finding the water on the 13th

Bit of sad news after my earlier post (12.15pm) as Kevin Na withdraws after nine holes.
Unfortunately, @kevinna915 has had to pull out of the LIV Golf Invitational Jeddah presented by @Roshnksa
We are wishing him a speedy recovery. #LIVGolf #LIVGolfJeddah pic.twitter.com/4Nb6pC7Lhc

Ding-dong yet again as Brooks goes to 10-under and momentarily has the outright lead, but Uihlein bounces straight back. The pair have a three-stroke lead on 10-under.

Peter and Brooks may be Smash teammates, but they are having a little ding-dong battle for the outright lead — trading blows back and forward, but they cannot be separated as yet on nine-under, two ahead of Turk Pettit.

Peter Uihlein goes birdie-birdie to start to get within one of leader Brooks Koepka at seven-under. But hold the bus, Brooks responds almost instantly with a birdie of his own to get to nine-under.
12.15pm
And off we go again! Keven Na gets some fireworks.
Amazing to see @kevinna915 even competing given he was in hospital on Thursday.
