In his home state, Patrick Cantlay will take a two-shot lead into the final round of the Genesis Invitational. He shot a steady third round of one-under par 70 which kept him in the lead throughout Saturday. But he started the day five shots ahead, so the chasing pack have cut into his advantage, particularly when Cantlay dropped a shot on the par-5 17th with some clumsy play. "I didn't make as many putts today," Cantlay said, "but I played a solid round of golf other than maybe 17. But I'm in a good spot going into tomorrow."
Cantlay, who is aiming for his ninth PGA Tour win, will be joined in the final pairing on Sunday by his good friend Xander Schauffele, one of four men who shot 65 on Saturday. Schauffele is tied in second with another of those who made 65, Will Zalatoris.
