Si Woo Kim has the lead at The American Express. One shot behind are world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler and 18-year-old Blades Brown. Scheffler had to make a 25-foot par save on the final hole for his 68 at the Stadium Course at PGA West. Brown ended his round on the same course by making three straight birdies for a 68. All but forgotten was Kim. The 30-year-old South Korean was 15 minutes away at La Quinta and posted a 66 to lead by one shot. Brown is trying to become the youngest winner of the modern PGA Tour.
