Matt Kuchar shot a bogey-free six-under-par 66 to extend his lead in the Sony Open on Saturday at Waialae Country Club in Honolulu.
He’ll go into Sunday’s final round at 18-under 192 with a two-shot edge over Andrew Putnam, whose strong start allowed him to tie for the lead early in the third round.
The 40-year-old Kuchar was three-under on the front side and regained the top spot. He ended the round with six consecutive pars.
Kuchar will aim for his second championship in about two months after winning the Mayakoba Golf Classic in November in Mexico.
