Northern Trust Open: Aaron Baddeley now leads
Kevin Na, 27, of Rancho Cucamonga birdied the ninth hole after (a long) time well-spent sizing up an 8-foot birdie putt. He made it and finished the front side with a three-under 32.
He is two shots behind new leader Aaron Baddeley, who finished his front nine with consecutive birdies for a 31 and an overall score of 10-under in the Northern Trust Open at Riviera Country Club.
Fred Couples, who led by two after the second round, needed to make an 11-foot par-saving putt on the eighth hole to stay at nine-under and in sole possession of second place.
