Khongwatmai +3 (75) Dou -3 (70) Ancer -1 (71)
The 18th hole has taken some prisoners today, and it damages the scorecards of all three players in the final grouping to close out the day.
Migliozzi -7 (67)
A tidy seven-footer for par sees Migliozzi back in the clubhouse at 7-under, just four shots back from the leaders.
Having won the French Open in 2022 at Le Golf National, Migliozzi will fancy his chances of putting the pressure on over the weekend.
McIlroy -5 (69) Aberg -4 (70) Scheffler -6 (69)
A superb approach shot on the tough 18th hole rewards McIlroy with a birdie, and he's moved to 5-under and a tie for 13th.
His playing partners, Aberg and Scheffler, both had to settle for pars on the closing hole.
Matsuyama -11 (68) Fleetwood -11 (64)
Having barely put a foot wrong all day, Matsuyama makes double on the 18th, having found the left rough off the tee and then the water.
Fleetwood also drops a shot, and as a result, they've both moved back into a tie for the lead with Xander Schauffele at 11-under.
A disappointing finish for both players, but they've both been magnificent today.

What can they conjure up on the testing par-5 finishing hole?

He now sits alongside Detry and Pan in a tie for 5th.
Matsuyama -12 (16)
A beautiful chip from just off the 16th green drops for Matsuyama, gifting him the birdie and the outright lead at 12-under.
All Fleetwood could do was watch on before giving a nod of approval.
It's been a fantastic back and forth between the two of them today.
Perez -5 (67)
Cheers of 'allez' ring out around the 18th green as Victor Perez makes it three birdies in a row to finish his second round.
A fantastic back nine has got the Frenchman right in the mix heading into the weekend.
Pulkkanen -1 (72)
An absolute disaster for Finland's Tapio Pulkkanen as he cards a nine on the par-4 18th.
He managed to find the water twice on the closing hole, resulting in an absolute card wrecker.
He remains 1-under for the tournament, but my word, that must hurt.
Fleetwood -11 (14)
Back to back birdies for Fleetwood moves him to 11-under, and with it, he takes a share of the lead with Xander Schauffele and his playing partner Hideki Matsuyama.
Five birdies and one eagle for Fleetwood today without a single blemish on the scorecard. Some serious golf from the Englishman.
Perez -4 (17)
Big roars on the 17th green as Victor Perez makes his second birdie in a row to move to 4-under.
The home favourite is putting together a stellar finish to his round.
Can he make it three in a row?
We will find out soon enough.
Fleetwood -10 (13)
A birdie at the par-4 13th moves Tommy Fleetwood to within one of the leaders.
The Englishman's approach play has been absolutely spot on today.
Ortiz -4 (70)
It's a disappointing finish for Carlos Ortiz, and he finishes bogey, double bogey on the final two holes to drop back to 4-under for the tournament.
He's dropped from T6 to T18 in just two holes.
Scheffler -4 (11)
Scheffler rolls in a great 20 footer for birdie on the 11th hole to make it two in a row, moving him to 4-under.
He's still a way off the leaders, but promising signs for Scheffler with the flat stick.
Schauffele -11, Rahm -9 (F)
It's two closing pars on the tough par-4 18th for Schauffele and Rahm and they both card solid rounds of 5-under 66.

Rahm has pushed himself up to 9-under par in T3 with Tommy Fleetwood, who is also through 11 holes.
