NAPA, Calif. (AP) – Bae Sang-moon needed only three holes at the end of his round Saturday to stretch his lead to four shots in the Frys.com Open.

Bae was on the verge of a sloppy bogey on the par5-16th hole at Silverado when he holed a 15-foot par putt from the fringe. He then drove the par-4 17th green and made a 6-foot eagle putt and made a 15-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole for a 7-under 65.

Just like that, he was at 16-under 200 and in control of the season opener on the PGA Tour.

PGA Tour rookie Zach Blair had a 69 and was at 12-under 204. Matt Kuchar shot 31 on the back nine for a 66 and was five shots behind, along with Brooks Koepka.
