La Quinta Country Club: Sahith Theegala continued his steady climb up the leaderboard with another composed round at the American Express, firing a 5-under 67 on the third day to move into the Top-25.

The Indian-origin American, seeking early momentum in a season after a disappointing 2025, is now 14-under par and tied 24th after three rounds of 71-64-68, a dramatic turnaround from his opening-round position of tied 118th.

At the top of the leaderboard, Korea’s Si Woo Kim surged into the lead after a 6-under 66 at La Quinta Country Club to reach 22-under 194. He holds a one-shot advantage over world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler and 18-year-old Blades Brown, who are tied second.
