Keith Mitchell shined on the back nine to card a 7-under 65 on Saturday to move into the lead after three rounds of the Sanderson Farms Championship in Jackson, Miss.
Mitchell, who recorded a 64 on Friday to share low-round honors with Beau Hossler, also managed to post the best score of the third round, collecting seven birdies while playing bogey-free golf. Five of those birdies came after the turn, and Mitchell now sits 20-under 196 for the tournament.
Hossler is in second, one shot off the lead. He fired a 68 on Saturday at the Country Club of Jackson.
Taiwan’s Kevin Yu (66 on Saturday) birdied two of his final three holes to grab sole possession of third and avoid a logjam at fourth, where Bud Cauley (67), Lucas Glover (68) and Jacob Bridgeman (69) sit in a three-way tie at 16-under.
A 71 dropped Daniel Berger into a tie for seventh with Michael Thorbjornsen (69) and Ryan Fox (68) of New Zealand.
