KEVIN NA AND RYAN MOORE SHARE TOP SPOT AT CIMB CLASSIC
Kevin Na took the advantage of inconsistent forms by others as he moved up to share the lead with defending champions, Ryan Moore after third round of the CIMB Classic. Na, whose first professional victory came in Malaysia at the Asian Tour's Volvo Masters shot a 5-under 67 at the Kuala Lumpur Golf and Country Club. He was the only player in the field to record a bogey-free round
Moore, who defeated Gary Woodland on the first playoff hole to win the CIMB Classic in 2013, shot 7 birdies and 2 bogeys. He is looking good to become the first player in tournament history to defend his title. This is the sixth time in Ryan Moore's career that he has led or shared the lead after 54 holes. He has gone on to win two of those events including last year's CIMB Classic.
Eight-time PGA TOUR champion and highest-ranked player in the field, Sergio Garcia is one stroke behind leaders Kevin Na and Ryan Moore after the rain delayed third round. Garcia took penalty drops on holes 14 and 16 but was able to scramble for par on both holes. Second-round leader Billy Hurley III is also sharing the same position as Garcia after shooting just 1-under 71.
