Harry Hall was 12 under through 36 holes, and Viktor Hovland and Justin Suh teed off Saturday 11 and 10 back, respectively.

But thanks to 4-under 66s — and a 2-over round from the Englishman — Hovland and Suh are within striking distance heading into Sunday.

The Norwegian’s opening nine was a bit on the boring side, as two birdies and a bogey had Hovland making the turn with a 1-under 34. However, he caught fire on the back, making four birdies in a six-hole stretch before a bogey at No. 17 stalled his momentum. Still, Hovland will tee off late Sunday five shots back of the leaders.

Unlike Hovland, Suh did most of his damage on the front nine, carding birdies on Nos. 1, 2, 6 and 7 to go out in 31. He’d add another circle at the 12th but gave it back on his closing hole, his lone blemish of the day. Suh, who’s four back, is looking for his first win on the PGA Tour.

Hovland’s last win came at the 2021 World Wide Technologies Championship at Mayakoba.
