Fleetwood eyes WGC Match Play bid in China

Many players at the RBC Heritage are eyeing a move into the top 64 in the world rankings, but the OWGR watch extends to China as well.

The top 64 players in Monday's ranking will qualify for the WGC-Cadillac Match Play Championship later this month. That's a significant incentive for England's Tommy Fleetwood, who is contending at the inaugural Shenzhen International on the European Tour with hopes of earning a trip to San Francisco.

Fleetwood entered the week tied at No. 66 with Francesco Molinari, and after a third-round 69 at Genzon Golf Club the 24-year-old will begin the final round in a tie for fourth, four shots behind Kiradech Aphibarnrat.
