Kevin Na continued his impressive showing at the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open, surging into a two-stroke lead after the third round on Saturday.
The American, the 2011 champion, fired a 10-under 61 to get to 22 under at the PGA Tour event in Las Vegas.
Na bettered his second-round 62 with another stellar round, which included 10 birdies – five on the front nine and five on the back.
He became the second player to record multiple rounds of 62 or better in two different stroke-play events since 1983, according to the PGA Tour.
