Si Woo Kim’s chase for 58 captured the attention of everyone at TPC Craig Ranch Friday.

When he went into the clubhouse with a five-shot lead after 36 holes, most probably thought they were witnessing a runaway train.

That proved to be short-sighted on Moving Day as Kim lost and then regained his lead from Wyndham Clark, who applied considerable pressure with a front nine that included a stretch of three consecutive birdies and an eagle on the par-5 ninth.

Making his inward half more interesting was the bloody nose Clark got on the fifth hole — where he made birdie.

“I don’t really know. I had like a cut on my nose, and I went like this,” Clark described after his round. “Next thing you know I was bleeding. It wasn’t quite a bloody nose, but it lasted a couple holes.”

Clark continued his birdie run by getting up and down for a ‘4′ at the par-5 12th. That gave him the outright lead at 19 under. Kim quickly tied him and Scheffler joined them at the top with his fourth birdie in five holes at the par-4 13th.

Clark and Scheffler both finished at minus-19, both shooting 65s. Kim, however, birdied Nos. 14 and 15 on his way to a 68 and a two-shot lead entering the finale.

Kim is seeking his first win on Tour since the 2023 Sony Open while Clark’s last victory was at the 2024 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, which was weather-shortened. While Kim has six top-10 finishes this year, Clark’s last came in the 2025 Open Championship (T-4).
