S🎶cheffler is aiming♔ to win his seventh PGA Tour event of the season at East Lake, with Collin Morikawa closest to him in second having carded a 67 in the third round.
"I've🅰 had my chances here to win some tournaments, and I'll have no better opportunity than Sunday,ౠ" said Scheffler.
"I've been mentally at my best this♑ year, and I'm look🧜ing forward to doing more of that in the last round."
Morikawa played himself into contention on Friday and was able to keep the pace with birdies on t꧅hree of the last four holes on Saturday, while Xander Schaffuele slipped down to fourth, 10 shots off the top, wi💝th Sahith Theegala above him on 17-under.

"It's going to be very hard, buౠt I believe in myself that I can do it," Morikawa said.
"Five shots is a lot, but two-shot swing🔥s happen. I think I've seen a couple over the past few days.
"I've just got to play my gameꦜ. I've got to go low. I've got 18 holes left in the season - I'm going to put everything𓆏 I have into these next 24 hours."
