Daniel Berger Shoots 69, But Expands Honda Classic Lead To Five Shots Entering Final Round 안전놀이터
PALM BEACH GARDENS - Daniel Berger wasn't faultless. He recently continued to stay away from huge issues, which nearly no one has figured out how to do at PGA National this week.

That is the reason he stays the head of the Honda Classic.

Berger began with a three-shot lead and finished with a five-shot advantage, after his round of 1-under 69 moved him 18 holes from winning a competition a 15-minute drive from his home.

Shane Lowry (67), Chris Kirk (71), Sepp Straka (69) and first-round pioneer Kurt Kitayama (71) were tied for second at 6 under.

Just 13 of the 73 players who got it done shot worse than average Saturday. No one went low, and except if Berger begins committing numerous errors, someone must on Sunday to deny him a fifth PGA Tour triumph.

Lowry had the day's best round - and that was only 3 under.

"I've drove the ball in play and I've figured out how to putt very great," Lowry said. "My putting felt pretty normal toward the beginning of the week. I observed something as the week went on."

He wants to track down another component.

Or on the other hand more explicitly, trust that Berger loses something.

"Clearly you need to go out and get him tomorrow, however I don't figure you can proceed to get anybody on this green," Lowry said. "You simply need to do your thing and shoot the best score you can and ideally it will be some place close to adequate."

Andrew Kozan, Curtis Thompson, Billy Horschel and Kevin Streelman all shot 68s on Saturday, however in each of the four cases, that basically implied simply getting to try and standard for the week and not even close to Berger.

"It played significantly harder today," Kitayama said.

There were hints that Berger could return to the pack, beginning from his first tee shot of the day when he maneuvered the ball into the left harsh. The left harsh looked for him on No. 4 too, as did a greenside shelter on No. 7.

He saved standard each time, and again on No. 10, when he two-putted from 65 feet to keep the card faultless. The main mix-up came on the last, his solitary intruder of the day.

Kirk was the nearest for some time, only three shots back as he made a beeline for the standard 4 fourteenth. However, an excursion into the trees prompted a twofold intruder, and Berger eased off his putt before coolly moving in a 5-footer to save standard once more.

Outfitted with a five-shot lead, Berger pulled out all the stops at the standard 3 fifteenth, the beginning of the three-opening stretch known as the "Bear Trap" that commonly dislikes hostility. He went at the banner, kept the ball underneath the breeze and watched it settle 7 feet from the opening.

The birdie putt was focus cut, getting him to 12 under - six shots in front of the closest challengers at that point.

Kozan was maybe the day's greatest example of overcoming adversity. He held up 12 hours to play four shots, then, at that point, played 68 additional shots in the following three hours or thereabouts.

Kozan halted play on the standard 5 eighteenth fairway Friday night in view of dimness, a savvy move since he wanted standard to get it done. Following five hours of rest, he was at the course by 5:40 a.M. Saturday to heat up and continued play at 6:47. He utilized a couple short irons to get to the green from around 260 yards out, then, at that point, two-putted for the standard that permitted him to make his first PGA Tour cut.
