PGA Tour rookie Austin Cook shot a 4-under 66 on Saturday to increase his lead to three strokes in the RSM Classic.

Cook, a shot ahead after a second-round 62, had five birdies and a bogey – his first of the week – to reach 18-under 194 with a round left at Sea Island Golf Club’s Seaside Course.

Former University of Georgia player Chris Kirk was second after a 64.

Brian Gay was another stroke back at 14 under after a 69.

Cook has made the weekend cuts in all four of his starts this season. The 26-year-old former Arkansas player earned his PGA Tour card through the Web.com Tour.

Four-way tie for 1st at CME Championship: Instead of pulling away from the field, Sung Hyun Park went the other direction Saturday and let Michelle Wie and just about everyone else into the mix going into the final round of the season-ending CME Group Tour Championship.

Park still is in solid position in her bid to become the first rookie since Nancy Lopez in 1978 to sweep all the major awards. The 24-year-old from South Korea simply has more company that anyone imagined.

Wie had a 6-under 66 and was tied for the lead with Kim Kaufman (64), Ariya Jutanugarn (67) and Suzann Pettersen (69) as she goes for her first victory since the 2014 U.S. Women’s Open.

They are at 10-under 206 at Tiburon Golf Club.

Park, who didn’t make a birdie until the 13th hole and shot 75, was among seven players who are just one shot behind.

The final day is so wide open that 31 players are separated by four shots.
