Davis Love III pulled away to a six-stroke lead in the Las Vegas Invitational on Saturday, with a seven-under-par 65 in the fourth round of the 90-hole event.
Love hit a seven-iron second shot to one of the par fives, and used five-irons on two others. He played those holes with two birdies and an eagle on his way to a 72-hole total of 265, 23 under par.
If he can hold his lead, Love will pick up the $252,000 first prize.
