KAPALUA, Hawaii (AP) - Robert Garrigus made another strong recovery, holing a 50-foot eagle putt on the final hole for a 4-under 69 and a share of the third-round lead with Steve Stricker and Jonathan Byrd in the season-opening Tournament of Champions.
Stricker shot a 65, making it look easy in the toughest conditions of the week. Byrd had a 67.
Then came Garrigus, who opened with a double bogey and a bogey to fall out of the lead. He lingered the rest of the sunny day until the end, when his 50-foot putt banged into the back of the cup and fell for eagle.
The trio of Americans were at 18-under 201. An American has not won at Kapalua since 2001.
Carl Pettersson (71) was 15 under, and Matt Kuchar (66) was another stroke back.
