Hatton in control but home favourites chasing
Legion XIII's Tyrrell Hatton played near flawless golf to go into the final day of LIV Golf Andalucia two clear of the field, on ten-under par, at Valderamma.
Hatton began the day on six-under and his lead was never threatened as he produced five birdies in the round, dropping just one shot in the process - though he needed a tough eight-foot par putt on the last to stay two clear.
Thomas Detry began two behind Hatton and also shot a 67 but the home crowd were more concerned with the movement behind him.
In third is Sergio Garcia, who made a bogey-free 68 and was close to nailing a couple more birdies with long putts just staying out, including at the last.
Jon Rahm is one back in a share of fourth at five-under after a 67 which involved the usual up and down ride, with five birdies and two bogeys.
Alongside him is Abraham Ancer, Cameron Smith and veteran Dustin Johnson, who hit a hole in one en route to an eye-catching 64, the round of the week so far. His round has his 4Aces team eight clear on the Teams Leaderboard.
The action continues live on TNT Sports and HBO Max, with coverage of the final day beginning at 11.30 UK Time on Sunday.

A brilliant par putt
As bad as his birdie putt was, his par putt was just as good. Hatton ends the day with a 67 and a two-shot lead over Detry.
Hatton misses birdie putt on 18 by a long way
It could be a BIG eight-footer going back to save par.
DJ ends with a 64!
Hatton taps in on 17 to reach double figures!
The game seems pretty simple for him at present. He is two clear of Detry, with Garcia two further back.
Rahm finishes on five-under
The Spaniard taps in. What a final day we will have, with Garcia and Rahm with the leader in their sights.
Rahm so close to holing his second
The Spanish are delighting the crowds. That leaves him a tap in on the first.
Garcia moves up to six-under
His eagle putt on 17 left some work to do, but he sunk the remaining five-footer to move him within three of the lead - and might have gotten the biggest roar of the day.
Smith and Ancer now joint third
Ancer with an eight-footer on the first for a three and Smith with a putt of similar length on the 17th. They are alongside Garcia on five-under.

How's your luck Sergio...
A wonderful long putt across the 16th green but it just stays out.
Rahm bogeys 17
His tee shot was wild and right so he took a provisional third off the tee which he had to play and he couldn't put away the mammoth putt for par.
Detry just misses birdie on 15
It looks very much like Tyrrell Hatton will have the lead for the third night in succession. He rolls in an eight-footer to save par like it was the easiest thing in the world.
Rahm finishes job on 15
The tee shot deserved a birdie and Rahm slotted home to bring himself to five-under, alongside Smith.
DJ with a hole in one!
Justin matches Herbert's feat yesterday with a hole in one on the third. The 18th in LIV Golf history. He is now three-under.
Huge putt from Detry on 13!
It might have been a 40-footer he slotted home across the green. Hatton saves his par to avoid a two-shot swing - he stays too in front.
And what an escape from Bryson
You can keep him off the top of the leaderboard sometimes, but never off the highlight reel.
What a tee shot from Rahm!
He puts the ball six feet from the hole on the par-three 230 yard 15th.
Birdies from the two leaders
Hatton and Detry take advantage of the par-five 11th making birdies to go to nine and six-under respectively.
So close from Rahm
He has sunk a few monsters over the round.
Garcia has one drop!
A 25-foot putt just sneaks into the left-hand side of the hole and Garcia is now up into joint-second with Detry.
First blemish of round for Hatton
He puts a putt of less than five foot wide of the tenth hole and drops to eight-under. Detry also made a bogey so his lead stays at three.
Bryson back to two-under
Who knows what will happen if he starts hitting fairways.

Hatton makes lead three on the turn
He sinks a ten-footer to go to nine-under par.
Disappointing from Rahm
A fantastic approach left him an uphill putt but he pushed it just past the hole. No one in striking the ball like him on the course at present.
Hatton saves par with 15-footer
He can't help but feel the pressure as he is aware from the crowd and the scoreboard that Rahm is moving, but Hatton kept his nerve with a good putt for par.
Rahm up to third
And just four off the lead. His perfect bunker shot left him barely more than a tap-in for his birdie at eight.
Detry recovers from bogey
And he brings the lead back to two shots.
The lead is now three
Detry bogeyed the fifth so Hatton is now three ahead of the field.

Hatton misses eagle putt
The ten-footer did not move from just outside the left of the hole as he expects. The birdie takes him to eight-under though.
Second birdie for Detry
He looks much more like the player who took the lead yesterday rather than the one who lost it in the last five holes. His 12-foot putt never looked like missing. He is up to six-under.
Rahmbo is coming
When he is sinking these type of putts no lead is big enough.
Smith with second birdie of round
He joins Detry in second spot after sinking a 20-foot putt for a four on the par-five fourth.
Detry up to five-under
He dropped a couple of shots late yesterday, but he makes one of them back here rolling in a ten-footer to move within two shots of Hatton.
Bryson back at one-under
DeChambeau remedies his errors on the fourth with a three on the fifth and puts himself back into the top ten.
Rahm back to two-under
Always yin yang with the Spaniard. A 12-foot putt on the par three third is sunk. DeChambeau is back at even after bogeying a par-five.
Perfect start from Hatton
A drive in the middle of the fairway and then, left with a left-to-right 15-footer he sinks it to extend his lead to three.
Smith starts with a birdie
He begins with a three to join Detry at four-under.
Bogey to start for Rahm
A four-footer went for a ride around the hole before careering out. Back to one-under for the home favourite.
We are underway!
Ten minute warning...
The Shotgun start begins shortly.
