Bubba Watson holds the top spot at the Hero World Challenge with a 19-under overall after shooting a nine-under on Saturday. It was a clean afternoon with seven birdies to go with an eagle on four.
The PGA Tour shows Watson's eagle from 169 yards out:
Just two strokes behind him, Paul Casey also shot a nine-under on the day. He and Watson are the only two golfers to shoot a score that low during this tournament.
While Casey didn't have a stunning eagle, he was extremely consistent in being excellent, birdieing exactly half of his 18 holes on Saturday.
One of his finest was a 22-foot putt, as shown by the PGA Tour:
There are five golfers within three strokes of Casey, which will surely set up a fun finish on Sunday.
If Watson is able to put together another solid round, not necessarily a nine-under, he should be able to walk away from the Hero World Challenge with the title.
