GOLF/USPGA Tour: Jerry Kelly shot a five-under-par 65 on Saturday to storm to the top of the Hawaiian Open leaderboard after three rounds and move a step closer to his first PGA Tour title.
Playing in the last group at breezy Waialae Country Club, Kelly had an early bogey and four birdies, closing with two in a row to reach 14-under 196 and a two-shot advantage.
Second-round leader John Cook and PGA champion David Toms are tied for second at 12-under 198.
Cook followed a career-low 62 with a 70, and Toms had the low round of the day with a 63.
Jim Furyk is alone in fourth at 199 after carding a 66.
Rookie of the Year Charles Howell III, first-round co-leader Chris Riley and Stephen Ames of Trinidad are tied for fifth at 200.
Kelly followed a bogey at the fourth hole with a 15-foot birdie putt at the fifth, then added birdies at the ninth, 13th, 17th and 18th.
A two-time runner-up in five-plus PGA Tour seasons, Kelly will sleep on a Saturday lead for the fourth time.
The last was at the Reno-Tahoe Open in August, when he triple-bogeyed the 16th hole and finished second to Cook.
