American Cameron Champ, who is playing this week with a heavy heart, fired a bogey-free five-under 67 to seize a three shot lead after the third round of the PGA Tour's Safeway Open.
Champ rolled in five birdies on Saturday as he seeks his second title on the US Tour after winning the Sanderson Farms Championship last year.
He has a 14-under 202 total at the Silverado Country Club course in Napa, California.
"I am executing everything," Champ said. "I am not making the little mistakes I was before.
"I felt like I left something out there last two or three holes."
"He just made me realize there's a lot more to life than golf."
