REUTERS: Japan's Hideki Matsuyama fired his lowest round since late February to grab the early, third-round clubhouse lead at the Rocket Mortgage Classic on Saturday, while overnight co-leaders Webb Simpson and Chris Kirk teed off.
Matsuyama, bidding for his sixth PGA Tour win and first since 2017, made three birdies on the front nine and then added another four over an eight-hole stretch on the back nine to surge up the leaderboard. Tony Finau, who birdied three of his last four holes on Friday to make the cut on the number, stormed up the leaderboard with a six-under 66 to sit one back of Matsuyama along with Adam Schenk , Tom Lewis and Arjun Atwal .Finau's highlight came at the par-five seventh where he made eagle after his approach shot from 244 yards out settled 16 feet from the hole.
