CALEDON, Ontario (AP) — Matteo Manassero and Ryan Fox each shot 6-under 64 on Saturday to share the third-round lead in the RBC Canadian Open, the final event before the U.S. Open next week at Oakmont.

Manassero rebounded from a three-putt bogey on 17 with a birdie on the par-5 18th — hitting an 80-yard third shot to 2 feet — to get to 14-under on the North Course at TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley.

“I missed the short one on 17, and I did miss a couple more short ones today,” Manassero said. “I try to think of them just like a shot really, like a driver, like a 6-iron, whatever. It’s just a shot. So I don’t want it to get in my head, and I don’t want that to ruin anything or my attitude going towards the next shots.”

Trying to win for the first time on the PGA TOUR, the 32-year-old Italian has eight international victories.

“I try to get a good attitude, a good thought process, talk well to myself. Very basic things,” Manassero said. “I’ve matured a lot and I have a better perspective towards, for example, a day like tomorrow."

Fox also birdied the 18th. The 38-year-old from New Zealand won the Myrtle Beach Classic last month in a playoff for his first PGA TOUR title.

“To be honest, everything went pretty right,” Fox said. “I drove it great. I think if you do that round here, you give yourself lots of chances. Had a lot of good wedge shots, holed a few putts early. Just played really solid kind of stress-free golf for the most part.”

Lee Hodges, Kevin Yu and Matt McCarty are a stroke back. Hodges and Yu shot 63, and McCarty with a 64.

Canadian Mackenzie Hughes (64) was 12-under with Jake Knapp (66) and Andrew Putnam (68).

“I’ve been putting the ball in play quite a bit, driving it pretty nice,” Hughes said. “I feel like that’s taken some pressure off the putter and the short game. It’s a big key around here. You start driving it well, you can attack and be aggressive.”

Canadian Nick Taylor, the 2023 winner at Oakville, eagled the 18th for a 69 to get to 10-under. Countrymen Adam Hadwin (65) and Taylor Pendrith (67) also were 10-under.

Masters champion Rory McIlroy missed the cut Friday, following an opening 71 with a 78.
