Hadwin stays ahead in search of first PGA win

Miami: Canada’s Adam Hadwin fired a bogey-free four-under par 67 Saturday to seize a four-stroke lead over American Patrick Cantlay after the third round of the US PGA Valspar Championship.

The 29-year-old from Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan — seeking his first PGA crown — stood on 14-under 199 after 54 holes over Innisbrook’s Copperhead course in Palm Harbour, Florida.

“I’ve been really proud of myself grinding things out. I just have to come out and do the same thing tomorrow,” Hadwin said.

Cantlay, also seeking his first PGA title, roared into second with the day’s low round, a 66, to reach Sunday’s final pairing on 203, one ahead of compatriot Jim Herman.
