Kang finished his third round earlier on Sunday with a three-under 68 to enter the final 18 holes with a three-shot lead. It was a lead he was rarely at risk of relinquishing. He dropped a couple of shots in his round, but both of his bogeys came soon after birdies and he followed up a bogey on the second with two birdies to close out his front nine and another on 12 with three in a row at 14, 15 and 16....
