MIAMI — After all his adventures during the third round of the RBC Heritage, Justin Thomas was not complaining about where he ended up on the leaderboard.

He is right there in contention.

South Korea's Kim Si-woo shot a five-under 66 to move into the tournament lead on April 19 as Thomas, the second-round leader, encountered rough and wet patches before carding a 69 at Hilton Head Island, South Carolina.

Kim, at 15-under 198, holds a one-shot edge on Thomas and Andrew Novak (66) going into the final round at Harbour Town Golf Links on April 20, which ended after press time.

Thomas figures that is not so bad. "When you win golf tournaments, you need to salvage under-par rounds when you don't have your best stuff... I played well."

"I just fought and tried to stay patient and then was able to salvage a score to where I'm right there," he said.
