By . Kate Gardiner, Press Association . England's Max Whitlock won his third gold of the Commonwealth Games as he was crowned men's floor champion at the SSE Hydro on Thursday. Whitlock claimed the title with a score of 15.533 after a near-faultless routine which was full of flair, finishing ahead of Canada's Scott Morgan who took silver with 15.133 while 14.550 gave New Zealand's David Bishop bronze. The 21-year-old Englishman added the top floor accolade to Tuesday's team gold and Wednesday's all-around title, with finals on the pommel horse, rings and parallel bars still to come. Bishop was first on the floor and tumbled well to set a strong early target, before Wales' Clinton Purnell moved into second place with a tally of 14.366.
