Japan's Hideki Matsuyama and America's Collin Morikawa took control of the PGA Tour season opener in Hawaii as they moved away from the field with a pair of 62s.
Matsuyama's 11-under par third round took him to 27-under-par as he set a new 54-hole record at Kapalua to hold his one-shot lead at The Sentry.
The former Masters champion was within reach of tying the course record with a long eagle attempt from just short of the 18th green.
