Stricker shot a 65 in the toughest conditions of the week. Byrd had a 67.

Then came Garrigus, who opened with a double bogey and a bogey to fall out of the lead. He lingered the rest of the day until the end, when his 50-foot putt banged in for an eagle.

The trio of Americans were at 18-under 201. An American has not won at Kapalua since 2002.

Carl Pettersson (71) was 15 under.
