Australian golfer Curtis Luck has shot a third-round 67 to move up into a tie for fourth at the US PGA event in Maryland, three shots behind leader David Lingmerth.

Also in a tie for fourth with one round to play is Luck's countryman Geoff Ogilvy who carded a 74 on Saturday to slip from second spot.

Sweden's Lingmerth has a one-shot lead heading into Sunday, having lost his way off the tee but scrambled well enough to stay in the lead at the Quicken Loans National.

The 29-year-old shot a three-over 73 on Saturday after starting the tournament with two consecutive 65s. That was enough to maintain a one-shot advantage at a tough TPC Potomac.

Lingmerth's three-day total of seven-under 203 was one better than Daniel Summerhays, who played solidly from tee to green but couldn't get many putts to fall. He shot 70.

Spencer Levin, who teed off two hours ahead of Lingmerth, was third at five under after the best round of the day, a 65.

There was little wind on Saturday and the greens were softened by a thunderstorm that caused a 90-minute delay, but TPC Potomac played as difficult as ever.
