Brendan Steele is the leader heading into Sunday at the Sony Open in Hawaii. The world’s 403rd-ranked player holds a three-shot lead over the field at Waialae Country Club in Honolulu after a 6 under 64 in round three.

Steele sits atop a crowded leaderboard, with Cameron Smith, Kevin Kisner, Webb Simpson and Collin Morikawa trailing closely behind. Matt Kuchar, last year’s Sony winner, ended his week on Friday at 2 over, missing the cut along with Justin Thomas and Patrick Reed, who ended lengthy made-cut streaks.

While Kuchar, Thomas and Reed all surprised for their missed cuts, Steele is something of a shock to be in contention. Beyond his world ranking, Steele hasn’t finished top-10 in a tournament since 2018. If he holds on Sunday, it’ll mark his fourth-career PGA Tour win and first since the Safeway Open in 2017.

J.T. Poston's tee shot on 18 went just 84 yards.

And if Steele is able to hold on Sunday (he tees off at 5:30 p.m. ET), the California native will head home with a hefty chunk of change in his pocket. Below is the payout for the Sony’s $6.6 million purse; you can watch the action on Golf Channel Sunday beginning at 6 p.m.
