And Italian Francesco Molinari had an incredible back nine, finishing with six successive birdies to post a two-under 68 for a one-under total.
That ambitious plan would rely on no further weather stoppages.
Up: Emiliano Grillo. Proving that his T-12 at the Open Championship was no fluke, the 23-year-old Argentine is two back after shooting 66-67.
Kisner is five under for the championship and understands, even after a great round, he will need some help to contend.
“If she keeps playing like she keeps playing, she’s going to be tough to catch”, Matthew said. They had to determine where he could drop the ball since there were so many puddles on the path. “I really think someone is going to shoot 62 or 61 over the weekend”. “I got a lot of experience from this week”.
Rose has won at least one event worldwide every year since 2010, but the Ryder Cup star has yet to taste victory in a frustrating 2016 campaign hampered by a back injury.
“I really get nervous, especially being my first time leading”, Jutanugarn said that afternoon at Rancho Mirage.

Phil Mickelson, though, just managed to make the cut.
“I think that major record of 63 will be broken today or tomorrow”, Mickelson said.
“It’s a major championship, and we want it to be ran and perform as a major championship”, Haigh said when asked why the PGA didn’t go to a two-tee start for Round 3.

Players were frequently confounded trying to properly read the greens. The course was pounded with rain, and more than two hours later, the round had not resumed. “It has taken away the challenge of the greens”. When you are able to fly it at the hole and stop it, that is negated..
Such a round may not come on Saturday, as the threat of lightning in the area caused a suspension of play before co-leaders Walker and Streb had teed off.

The top 10 players on the leaderboard did not make it out onto the course before an approaching thunderstorm forced play to be suspended at 2.15pm local time (7.15pm BST). The PGA took a chance and Mother Nature won, it happens.
