Harold Varner III dropped a 15-foot birdie putt on the final hole of the third round to take the lead at the Saudi International in King Abdullah Economic City, Saudi Arabia.
Varner, who finished T22 at the American Express two weeks in his only PGA Tour start of this calendar year, rolled through Saturday with a 68 at Royal Greens Golf & Country Club.
Now at 12 under for the tournament, Varner sits a shot ahead of Spaniard Adri Arnaus (-11) and two shots up on Tommy Fleetwood.
