Si Woo Kim has clung to a two-shot lead in the CJ Cup Byron Nelson but has hometown favourite and defending champion Scottie Scheffler breathing down his neck.
The 30-year-old South Korean shot a 3-under 68 in the third round on Saturday to hold off a charge from Scheffler and 2023 US Open champion Wyndham Clark, who had matching 65s.
Sungjae Im, Kim's countryman, followed a second-round 61 with a 67 and was another two shots back with Stephan Jaeger and Tom Hoge. Jaeger's 64 was the low round of the day at the TPC Craig Ranch.
Kim, the field's second highest-ranked player behind Scheffler at No. 24, was in position for a 59 in the second round but had a bogey at 18 that forced him to settle for 60.
