Chris Kirk carded a 7-under 66 on Saturday to jump into the lead after three rounds of action at The Sentry in Maui, Hawaii.

Kirk now sits at 21-under 198 for the tournament, one stroke ahead of Akshay Bhatia, who also fired a third-round 66. Xander Schauffele (65 on Saturday), Jordan Spieth (67) and South Korean Byeong Hun An (68) are in a three-way tie for third at 19 under.

Friday's second-round leader, World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, posted a 71 on Saturday to slip into a tie for sixth, three strokes off the lead.

After settling for bogey at the par-4 third and making par at the par-4 fourth, Kirk caught fire, grabbing birdies at seven of the next 10 holes. He added one more to close his round at the par-5 18th.

Harris English notched the low round of the day with a 9-under 64 to skyrocket 26 spots on the leaderboard. He now sits T6 along with Scheffler, Australia's Jason Day (67 on Saturday) and Sahith Theegala (68).
