Martin Laird matched the course record at Coco Beach Golf Course to sit one shot behind Viktor Hovland ahead of the final round at the Puerto Rico Open.


The 37-year-old Scot, who is a three-time winner on the PGA Tour, hit two eagles and five birdies in his flawless nine-under-par 63.

Laird has not won since claiming the Valero Texas Open in April 2013 and trails Norwegian Hovland, who is targeting his maiden professional title, after his third round of 64.


The 22-year-old carded three birdies on his front nine for 31 at the turn but three more in his final four holes, including at the 18th, helped him get to 18 under.

American Josh Teater was also bogey-free in his third round as he sat in sole third place at 16 under, while fellow overnight co-leader Emiliano Grillo was three shots further back in fourth.

Kyle Stanley, who led after the opening round and was co-leader after the second, mixed four birdies and three bogeys to drop to seventh.
