Wesley Bryan holds a 54-hole lead/co-lead for the first time on the PGA Tour after carding a third round 70 to take a one shot lead into the final day at the Corales Puntacana Championship.
"The birdie at the last was nice, it was nice to see a putt drop. Felt like kind of in those -- right after -- I missed a lot of really short putts, there's really no hiding it, but I felt like right when it was starting to like teeter, I would make a nice putt and the one on the last was nice.
"And so, yeah, I might go hit a few five-footers on the putting green to get ready for tomorrow, but all in all I hit the ball well. I didn't hit it great off the tee, but I felt like I managed it pretty well. Would I have liked to shoot a few better? Absolutely, but the position I'm in right now, it's a good one to be in."
Bryan's 17-under 199 ties the tournament 54-hole scoring record and marks his low 54-hole score on Tour.
Kevin Tway made his first bogey in fifty holes at the 15th but also eagled the par-5 7th and closed with a 66 to move into second place at 16-under.
"Played good, got off to a hot start, made some good putts and then some good par-saving putts that kind of keep the momentum going.
"It's in the back of your mind like, hey, haven't made a bogey yet and every time you have an eight-footer you're kind of thinking with it. I figured gonna make one bogey, so it was kind of good to get it out of the way so I'm not thinking about it tomorrow."
Canadian Taylor Pendrith, the lone non-American player among the top 10 on the leaderboard, shot a bogey-free 65 to move into a share of third place at 15-under alongside Justin Lower who carded a 71.
