South Korea's Si Woo Kim recovered from a bad mid-round stretch to shoot 3-under-par 68 and keep the lead through three rounds of the CJ Cup Byron Nelson on Saturday in McKinney, Texas.
Kim, who opened the day with a five-shot lead, sits at 21-under 192 and carries a two-shot edge over world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler and Wyndham Clark going into Sunday's final round at TPC Craig Ranch.
After a four-hole stretch when he recorded three bogeys, Kim played the final seven holes in 3 under.
Scheffler, a hometown favorite and the tournament's defending champion, and Clark both turned in 65s. Scheffler had only one bogey, but settled for pars on the last five holes.
Tom Hoge (66), South Korea's Sungjae Im (67) and Germany's Stephan Jaeger (64) are tied for fourth at 17 under.
Kim reached 20-under with birdies on two of the first six holes before a bogey on the par-4 eighth. Bogeys on Nos. 10 and 11 dropped him into a tie for the lead.
Clark played the front nine in 5 under, boosted by an eagle on the par-5 fifth hole when he needed a putt of less than 6 feet.
Jaeger enjoyed the day's best round. He opened with birdies on the first three holes and delivered another three-birdie stretch on Nos. 12-14.
Tee times for the third round were delayed and adjusted because of weather-related concerns. Golfers were paired in threesomes starting on Nos. 1 and 10.
