Defending champion Tom Kim closed with a 9-under 62 featuring an eagle and two bogeys to move into a share of the lead at 15-under at the Shriners Children’s Open.<\/p>\n

“You know, tee to green, I was really solid. Gave myself a lot of looks. Obviously you’ve got to finish them off, and that’s exactly what I did. I putted great,” said Kim.<\/p>\n

“Left myself in some tough spots, but I think that up-and-down on 12 really kind of got it going. Then hit a really good tee shot on 13 but made a really good putt and made birdie. Just those little things that kind of kept the momentum going. Just felt really comfortable over the ball. That was the biggest thing. I wasn’t rushing anything. I wasn’t trying to force anything. I was just really calm, and yeah, just a great day.”<\/p>\n

Canada’s Adam Hadwin shot a bogey-free 63 for his share of the lead.<\/p>\n

“I think everything has to work well to shoot 8-under par. I continued to strike the ball very well, both off the tee and into the greens,” said Hadwin. “I had a lot of good opportunities today. Made a few more putts than I had the previous couple days.<\/p>\n

“Looking forward to a chance to win a golf tournament tomorrow.”<\/p>\n
