Chez Reavie is closing in on his first PGA Tour title in over a decade after taking a six-shot lead heading into the final round of the Travelers Championship.

Reavie, chasing a first victory since 2008, birdied seven of his last nine holes to post a seven-under 63 and pull clear of nearest challengers Keegan Bradley and Zach Kucher.

Jason Day is part of the group seven strokes off the pace in tied-fourth, while British duo Tommy Fleetwood and Martin Laird sit a further shot back after rounds of 67 and 68 respectively.

Reavie reached the turn level par but shot up the leaderboard by following a 25-footer at the 10th by holing a 10-footer from the fringe at the next, before nudging in from three feet at the 12th and getting up and down from the bunker to birdie the following par-five.

The American's lead increased with a six-foot birdie at the 15th, before finishing with back-to-back birdies to get to 16 under at TPC River Highlands.

Bradley birdied two of his opening three holes on his way to a one-under 69 and sits joint-second alongside overnight leader Kucher, who dropped five shots in a three-hole stretch after the turn on his way to a one-over 71.

A bogey-free round-of-the-day 64 from Bryson DeChambeau lifted him inside the top 10, while Patrick Cantlay lurks in the group a stroke behind on seven under after a third-round 65.
