Kirk started the day strong, shooting a 7-under 66 to take the lead. He was able to maintain his momentum throughout the round, making birdies on the par-5 18th and par-3 17th holes. He also had a bogey on the par-4 15th, but was able to recover and finish strong.
The field is stacked with talent, as 12 players are within three strokes of Kirk’s lead. Among them are some of the top players in the world, including Jordan Spieth, Justin Thomas, and Rory McIlroy.
