There is no let-up and no room for missed chances at The Sentry.
Hideki Matsuyama is leading the charge, but he will be pursued by a host of contenders in the final round on Jan 5.
The Japanese shot an 11-under 62 on Jan 4 to maintain a one-shot lead after three rounds, in what turned into a shoot-out with Collin Morikawa at The Plantation Course in Kapalua, Hawaii.
Matsuyama, the second-round leader, could not shake off his American opponent, who also shot 62 in the PGA Tour's season-opening event.
"Collin played well and I just kind of followed him, so (it was) a good day," said the world No. 6. "It was a lot of fun, but I would like for him to take it easy (on Sunday)."
Do not count on it. And if either falters, there is a pack of golfers in position to catapult to the top. With the winds that so often buffet the Plantation Course again largely absent, five players posted rounds of 10 under or better.
