Omnium Sony | Hayden Buckley scores two eagles and takes a two-stroke lead

(Honolulu) Hayden Buckley eagled on the first and last holes of the second nine on Saturday, shooting 64 to grab a two-shot lead at the Sony Open.

Buckley scored from 133 yards on 10^e hole. On the last hole of the day, he lodged his approach shot two feet from the cup, on a par 5.

He sits at 195, which is 15 under par.

Buckley is among nine players in the top 15 on the board who are yet to relish a PGA victory.

At some point in the third round, there were eight golfers tied for the lead.

Buckley has a two-stroke lead over Chris Kirk (68), Ben Taylor (65) and David Lipsky (66).

Kirk double-bogeyed on his first hole.

British Columbian Nick Taylor came within five strokes of the lead with a superb 62, including nine birdies.

Andrew Putnam scored the same; he and Si Woo Kim (64) are three shots off the top.

Other Canadians at the tournament are Corey Conners, 32^e after a 68, and Adam Svensson, 51^e after a 67.
