DP World Tour: BMW PGA Championship Leaderboard Tee Times
Filippo Celli and Manuel Elvira will share the lead heading into the final round of the BMW PGA Championship but the duo have a high-class leaderboard breathing down their necks at Wentworth Club.

Rory McIlroy finished birdie-eagle to get to -11 alongside fellow Masters champion Adam Scott, American Davis Bryant, Chilean Joaquin Niemann and Norway's Kristoffer Reitan.
Italian Celli and Spaniard Elvira carded rounds of 69 and 68 respectively and will go out together again on Sunday as they both look for a first DP World Tour win at the third Rolex Series event of the season.

"I can't wait, honestly, because it's going to be very good," he said. "I will try to be in the present, you know, and try to enjoy every single minute and see what happens."
He added: "I'm very happy because today it was very tough. It was windy, tricky out there. So I'm happy how I handled life's situation out there. Sometimes the wind changed a bit so it wasn't easy.
Elvira - brother of three-time DP World Tour winner Nacho - is playing his third season on Tour snce graduating from the HotelPlanner Tour in 2023 and has three top tens in 2026.
"I think I'm ready," he said of the chance to win one of the DP World Tour's most prestigious events. "I've been playing well the last few weeks. Obviously the results were not really coming my way but I just managed to stay patient this week and just have fun."
American Spaun carded a 68 with five birdies and a single bogey while McIlroy signed for a 69, Bryant and Niemann recorded rounds of 67 and Scott went round in 71.
There were 25 players within five shots of the lead including Major champions Ryan Fox, Aaron Rai and Matt Fitzpatrick.

DP World Tour: BMW PGA Championship Leaderboard
Ryan Gerard carded a brilliant bogey-free round of 65 to take a two-shot lead into the weekend at the BMW PGA Championship.
The American (who once flew from California to Mauritius to finish 2nd to South African Jayden Schaper), and get enough points to qualify for the Masters, had put himself in the mix with an opening 67 and remained in touch with the leaders as he picked up four birdies in 13 holes on Friday at Wentworth Club.
He was one shot off the lead as he entered the West Course's famous pair of par-five finishers but went eagle-birdie to get to -12 and leap ahead of nearest challengers Filippo Celli and Adam Scott at -10
US PGA Championship winner Aaron Rai was then at -9 alongside Spaniard Manuel Elvira, with Major champions Rory McIlroy, Ryan Fox and JJ Spaun a further shot back -8 with Ross Fisher and Elvira's brother Nacho for company.
Gerard earned DP World Tour status by winning last season's Barracuda Championship and finished in a tie for 38th in his debut at this Rolex Series event last season.
He has finished a runner-up four times since, including three events in a row as 2025 turned into 2026, and arrived in England at a career-high 21st on the Official World Golf Ranking as he looks to maintain momentum in a truly global schedule.
"I just love playing golf," he said. "The DP World Tour is a great tour and we're lucky to have fantastic events like this one that I can come play in what would technically be the off-season on the PGA Tour.
"There's a lot of really awesome places outside of the United States that we don't get to go to very often. To be lucky enough to come over here to Wentworth and also go to France next week, other events on the schedule, it's really, really cool that I have that opportunity, and we're going to take advantage of it."
On his 65, he added: "I don't know if I was feeling an eagle-birdie finish but I stayed patient all day.
"You know when you get to the last couple of holes at Wentworth here, they are gettable. There's also trouble lurking, so you have to be careful. Just felt like we were putting the ball in the right spots all day. Good things happen when you stick to the plan and execute shots."
SUMMARY
Manuel Elvira turned in 34 with three birdies and two bogeys but made five gains on the back nine to fly up the leaderboard with a 66 of his own, while home hero Rai, recorded a birdie-birdie finish in a 69.
McIlroy and Fox were playing alongside Rai in a group comprised of three reigning Major champions and they both matched their playing partner's birdie-birdie finish as they carded rounds of 67 and 68 respectively.
Spaun signed for a 66, Fisher rolled back the years with a 67 and Nacho Elvira registered a 69 to sit a shot ahead of Matt Wallace.
There were then 11 players at -6 including defending champion Alex Noren, Ryder Cup star Sepp Straka and recent winner Joe Dean.
