Tom Kim of South Korea and Adam Hadwin of Canada posted monster rounds Saturday to vault into a three-way tie with Lanto Griffin atop the leaderboard of the Shriners Children’s Open in Las Vegas.
Kim fired a 9-under-par 62, one better than Hadwin’s 63 to sit at 15 under after 54 holes. Kim jumped 25 spots up the leaderboard on moving day while Hadwin improved 19 spots. Griffin, the co-leader after two rounds, shot 68.
Three players are one shot back in a tie for fourth and another four golfers sit T7 just two shots off the lead, including Switzerland’s Callum Tarren, who matched Kim’s 62 for low round of the day. Tarren vaulted 41 spots up the leaderboard and into contention.
Another seven players are just three back T11.
Adding to Kim’s phenomenal round is that he carded two bogeys — and an eagle — to go with nine birdies.
Hadwin, meanwhile, turned in a clean card with his eight birdies.
Second-round co-leader Cameron Champ shot 74, falling into a T24 at 9 under.
