I had like a cut on my nose, and I went like this,\u201d Clark described after his round. \u201cNext thing you know I was bleeding. It wasn\u2019t quite a bloody nose, but it lasted a couple holes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Clark continued his birdie run by getting up and down for a \u20184&#8242; 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.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>Kim is seeking his first win on Tour since the 2023 Sony Open while Clark\u2019s last victory was at the 2024 AT&amp;T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, which was weather-shortened. While Kim has six top-10 finishes this year, Clark\u2019s last came in the 2025 Open Championship (T-4).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Si Woo Kim\u2019s chase for 58 captured the attention of everyone at TPC Craig Ranch Friday.
