The American hit four birdies on the front nine, and looks to be finding his best form when it matters most.
Zalatoris currently sits third, and is just two shots off the pace, while Rory McIlroy and John Rahm still have a chance of walking away with the trophy, although their putting will need to improve in the final holes.
There is still plenty to play for at the business end of the leaderboard, but some of the early starters have already finished their final rounds.
