Japan’s Hideki Matsuyama shot an 11-under-par 62 to maintain the lead through three rounds of The Sentry in what turned into a shootout with Collin Morikawa on Saturday.
Matsuyama, who was the second-round leader, couldn’t shake Morikawa, who also shot 62 in the PGA Tour season opener at The Plantation Course in Kapalua, Hawaii.
Matsuyama, at 27 under going into Sunday’s final round, and Morikawa were tied at the turn.
Matsuyama had birdies on four of the last five holes. Belgium’s Thomas Detry is in third at 22 under after his 65.
