Brendan Steele birdied three of the last four holes on the front and back nines to shoot a nine-under-par 61 and seize a two-stroke lead after Saturday’s third round of the PGA Sony Open.

The 37-year-old American, last year’s Sony Open runner-up, finished 54 holes at Waialae Country Club in Honolulu on 18-under 192 after a bogey-free round.

Steele seeks his fourth career PGA title after the 2011 Texas Open and the 2016 and 2017 Safeway Opens.

Steele opened with a 19-foot birdie, birdied six and reeled off three in a row ending with an 11-footer at the par-four 10th.
