Whee Kim has never won on the PGA Tour, but he's given himself a chance at the St. Jude Classic, thanks to great back-nine finish on Saturday.

After a birdies at 13 and 15, Kim's poor tee shot forced him to lay up at the par-5 16th, leaving 118 yards to the hole.

The 25-year-old South Korean then struck a beautiful wedge that dropped inches from the hole and found the bottom of the cup for an eagle.

Kim would par the 17th, but bogey 18 for a third-round 69.
