KAPALUA, MAUI - Collin Morikawa holds the third-round lead/co-lead for the third time in his career and has converted to a “W” 1-for-2 as of today. He is the only player in the field bogey-free through 54 holes.
Six shots (-24) to (-18) equals the largest 54-hole lead of the Fall/Winter season (Russell Henley/World Wide Technology Championship at Mayakoba) and matches the largest at this tournament since it moved to Kapalua in 1999.
Collin Morikawa seeks first PGA TOUR victory since 2021 Open Championship and sixth career TOUR title.
Scottie Scheffler can return to World No. 1 with a tie for third with one other player.
Englishman Matt Fitzpatrick (T-2) birdied five of his last seven holes to sit six shots off the lead. Fitzpatrick is seeking his second victory on TOUR (2022 U.S. Open)
