Patrick Cantlay gave up some ground on his five-stroke lead heading into Saturday’s third round but still sits atop the leaderboard after his 1-under-par 70 at the Genesis Invitational in Pacific Palisades, Calif.
Cantlay sits at 14 under, just two strokes ahead of Xander Schauffele and Will Zalatoris, who fired identical 65s to put some pressure on the leader.
Luke List dropped to solo fourth after a 68, no match for the red-hot rounds posted by Schauffele and Zalatoris.
Harris English (65 on Saturday) and Australian Jason Day (69) are four shots off the lead in a tie for fifth.
Cantlay opened his round with a birdie but finished with just three against two bogeys.
Meanwhile, Schauffele eagled No. 1 and carded four birdies coming in for his bogey-free round.
Zalatoris carded seven birdies against just one bogey for his 65.
