Matt Kuchar and Colombian Camilo Villegas are tied for the lead after three rounds and have 18 holes remaining to settle matters at the World Wide Technology Championship at Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.

Kuchar shot 67 and Villegas fired a 69 on Saturday to sit tied at 19-under par at El Cardonal at Diamante, the first Tiger Woods-designed course to be used at a PGA Tour event.

South African Erik van Rooyen posted a 66 to sit third at 18 under. Three players are tied for fourth at 17 under, including Canadian Mackenzie Hughes, who vaulted 23 spots up the leaderboard with a 9-under 63, the best round of the day.

Another five golfers are four shots off the lead T7.

Villegas has not won on tour since 2014, while Kuchar’s last victory came in January 2019 at the Sony Open in Hawaii.

Saturday began with the resumption of the second round, which was suspended by darkness on Friday. Three golfers still had one hole left to complete before the third round could begin.
