Steele shoots 64 to seize three-stroke Hawaii PGA lead

American Brendan Steele, who hasn't managed a US PGA top-10 finish in nearly two years, fired a six-under par 64 to seize a three-stroke lead at the Sony Open in Hawaii.

In wet and windy conditions at Honolulu's Waialae Country Club, 403rd-ranked Steele fired his lowest round in three years and matched the week's low round with a six-under par 64 to stand on 12-under 198 after 54 holes.

"I feel like all phases of my game are as good as they've ever been," Steele said.

"I need to stick with everything I'm doing and keep the pedal down, just keep doing what I'm doing and hope it's enough."
"I felt comfortable with what I was doing. I was able to stick with it and it paid off."
"But we're doing what can and donating to that need. They've got homes to rebuild, lives to rebuild, and they need all the help we can give them."
