The 30-year-old Homa might have finished in sole possession of the lead had it not been for a double-bogey six on the par-four seventh on the PGA West Stadium Course at La Quinta, in the California desert near Palm Springs. The 31-year-old from Salt Lake City, who started the day one off the lead, dropped a shot on the first after three-putting before birdies on the 4th, 5th, 7th and 8th holes left him three under by the turn.

A 91-yard approach shot to three feet set up a birdie on the 14th, and that was followed by another birdie on the 15th, when his 152-yard nine iron from the fairway landed a few feet from the pin. A total of 24 players are all within five strokes of each other heading into the final round, with Richy Werenski leading the chasing pack on 14 under.
