Shane Lowry hits his drive on the ninth hole

Despite a tidy round of four-under-par 67, Shane Lowry remains off the pace of the leaders heading into the final round of the RBC Heritage Open - but the Offalyman knows one more decent round in the 60s will ensure him of another high finish as the PGA Tour season ramps up.

Despite a dropped shot at the par-five second hole, Lowry found five birdies to make his 67 - his lowest round of the week so far. He sits on eight-under-par overall.

Si-Wood Kim dropped a shot at the last but remains atop the leaderboard on his own at 15-under-par following a classy Saturday 66.


FULL LEADERBOARD


Justin Thomas, playing with Kim, birdied the 18th to leave himself one shot off the lead heading into Sunday after a round of 69. Thomas' fellow American, Andrew Novak, matched Kim's 66 and also sits just one off the lead.

South Korea's Kim, who started the day two shots off overnight leader Thomas, made his move with four birdies on his front nine. He added two more before a dropped shot on the last cut his advantage to a single stroke.
