Brendon Todd cannot be stopped.

The 34-year-old fired a remarkable 8-under 62 in Round 3 of the RSM Classic to lead by two shots in search of his third straight PGA Tour victory.

Todd, once again, looked in complete control Saturday at Sea Island Resort's Seaside Course. He birdied seven holes on the front nine to make the turn at 29. He added two more red numbers to his bogey-free scorecard to sit at 18-under for the week.

If Todd were to hang on for the victory on Sunday, he would join Tiger Woods, Vijay Singh, Rory McIlroy, and Dustin Johnson as the only players to win three consecutive PGA Tour events since 2000.

Additionally, Todd has now posted 12 straight rounds of 68 or lower, two short of Tiger's record.

Here's how the leaderboard stands after Round 3, with Webb Simpson topping the list of notables trying to chase down Todd.
