As he has done after the first two days, Collin Morikawa will sleep on the lead at the 2023 Tournament of Champions. Beginning his third round with a two-stroke lead, the two-time major champion was simply brilliant around the Plantation Course at Kapalua on Saturday and extended his lead to six strokes heading into the final day of competition.Remaining bogey-free on the week, Morikawa stands at 24 under after signing for rounds of 64-66-65. In his rearview mirror — albeit some distance away — are Scottie Scheffler, Matt Fitzpatrick and J.J. Spaun at 18 under. Despite the substantial deficit to Morikawa, should Scheffler finish in a two-way tie for third place or better, he will surpass Rory McIlroy atop the Official World Golf Rankings.With the likelihood of him catching Morikawa over the final 18 holes looking bleak, a nice consolation prize may be in store for the 2022 PGA Tour Player of the Year. Former world No. 1 Jon Rahm and fan favorites Tom Kim and Max Homa round out the first page of the leaderboard.Keep it locked here as CBS Sports will be keeping track of everything with live updates and analysis throughout Round 4 of the 2023 Tournament of Champions on Sunday
