Justin Thomas shoots a bogey-free 66 to take a one-shot lead over Scottie Scheffler in Sunday’s final round of the Hero World Challenge.
World No. 1 Scheffler missed a birdie putt on the 18th as he carded a 69 at Albany Golf Club in the Bahamas to improve to 16 under par.
South Korean Tom Kim moved up seven places to third with a 10-under-par 62. Kim was 11-under for his round after 16 holes, but a double-bogey on the par-five 17th ended any hopes of tying the course record. 61.
But he ended up bunkering the hole and ending up with an improbable birdie and is just two behind Thomas (15 under).
US Ryder Cup captain Keegan Bradley continued his fine form with a bogey-free 68, 13 off the pace.
Scotland’s Robert MacIntyre finished the sixth hole at the top of the round, mixing four birdies with two bogeys to shoot a 68 and finish at nine under.
England’s Aaron Rai carded a 72 to remain at 2 under and is joint 14th in the 20-man field.
