Matt Kuchar is on track for his first PGA Tour win in more than four years after opening up a four-stroke lead at the Mayakoba Golf Classic.
The American continued his impressive showing in Playa del Carmen, Mexico, with a six-under 65 in the third round on Saturday.
Kuchar opened the tournament with back-to-back 64s and remained in control after holing seven birdies and a bogey in the third round.
He moved into 20 under to be well-placed for a first PGA Tour success since the 2014 RBC Heritage, which was his seventh victory.
