Xander Schauffele maintained his one-shot lead at the Sentry Tournament of Champions in Hawaii.

The defending champion finished the day with four birdies and two bogies in a two under 71, and is well placed to become only the third player to win twice in a row at this Kapalua Resort event.

FULL LEADERBOARD

Though the 71 might have been a slight disappointment after rounds of 69 and 68, Schauffele is still on top of the leaderboard on 11 under, followed by fellow American Justin Thomas.

The 2017 PGA Champion carded a 69 to get to 10 under with current US Open champion Gary Woodland on his own in third spot on 8 under. 

There follows a sizable group of players on 7 under, a bunch which includes Jon Rahm and Patrick Reed. 

Graeme McDowell endured a difficult third round, limping to a 76 which leaves him at even par, tied-26th and near the foot of the field.
