Sergio Garcia recorded a bogey-free 66 on Saturday to grab a share of the Sanderson Farms Championship lead heading into the final round.
The Spaniard leads the field in strokes gained: tee to green through 54 holes, and he's opting to putt with his eyes closed for the event in Mississippi.
"At the end of the day, we're all trying to find ways to be better, to be more consistent, and that's what works for me," Garcia said about his putting technique. "... It's just a personal thing that I feel like it helps me, and that's why I do it."
Prior to this week, he lost strokes putting in nine straight tournaments. Through three rounds at the Country Club of Jackson, he's gained one shot with the flatstick to rank 37th in the field.
Cameron Davis, who posted a career-low 63 in Round 3, and J.T. Poston join Garcia in the top spot.
Here's how the top of the leaderboard stands after Day 3:
| Place | Player | To Par | R3 Score |
|---|---|---|---|
| T1 | Cameron Davis | -14 | 63 |
| T1 | Sergio Garcia | -14 | 66 |

Keegan Bradley carried a two-shot lead into Saturday, but he played the front nine at 3-over. He eagled No. 11 for his lone under-par hole.
