Brendan Steele burned the lower end of the PGA Tour career to bring a two-picture guide to the final day of the Sony Open in Hawaii.

Entering the weekend three off the lead, Steele rolled into a 20-footer at first and slid from half-distance at sixth for the first of four birdies in a five-run stretch. holes around the leg.
