Humana Challenge - California

Scott Stallings fired a stunning third round of 63 to move into a five-shot lead at the Humana Challenge in California.

The American  started play on Saturday one shot off the pace but rocketed to the top of the leaderboard thanks to a nine-under-par score on the Nicklaus Private course at PGA West.

Stallings' stunning bogey-free score included a pair of eagles, at the eighth and the 13th, and five birdies as he moved to 22 under for the pro-am tournament

"I played well. I stayed aggressive. I've been smart when I got out of position.
"I guess you can say it's conservatively aggressive. Like number eight today, I hit a really good drive and had eight iron," he said of his second eagle.
"But just because I had eight iron to a par-five, I fired it in the middle of the green, had a 20-footer and was happy to make it."
