2024 Shriners Children's Open scores: J.T. Poston, Doug Ghim on top with Round 3 play suspended

Gary Woodland and Kurt Kitayama hold the clubhouse lead with their third rounds completed

LAS VEGAS (AP) -- Former U.S. Open champion Gary Woodland finished 54 holes of the wind-delayed 2024 Shriners Children's Open knowing he'll have his best chance at winning since brain surgery more than a year ago. Best of all Saturday was being finished.

Woodland had three birdies over his last six holes and extended his bogey-free streak to 28 holes in polishing off a 6-under 65 that gave him a share of the clubhouse lead with Las Vegas resident Kurt Kitayama, who also had a 65.

They trailed J.T. Poston and Doug Ghim by one shot when play was suspended by darkness. Thirty of the 66 players who made the cut earlier Saturday did not finish.
