Graeme McDowell moves ahead on PGA Tour in Dominican Republic

Graeme McDowell fired a second successive 64 to take a one-shot lead into the final round of the PGA Tour's Corales Puntacana Resort & Club Championship.

McDowell mixed 10 birdies with two bogeys to get to 15 under in the Dominican Republic and edge one ahead of America's Chris Stroud.

Sungjae Im, looking for a victory to move inside the world's top 50 and qualify for the Masters, sits two strokes back in a share of third alongside Australia's Aaron Baddeley.

"I hit a lot of great shots and made some putts," McDowell said. "I'm going to have to keep doing that tomorrow if I want to try and win."

Beginning the day three off the pace, McDowell one-putted his first 15 holes before closing out his round with three pars to bolster his hopes of a first PGA Tour title since 2015.
