Merritt's hole-in-one gave him a three-shot lead, but he gave a stroke back on the next hole with a bogey and shot a 5-under 67 on Saturday. Joaquin Niemann took advantage of the opening to share the third-round lead at the Rocket Mortgage Classic.

From Yahoo!Sports by Will Gray:
Through three days of the Rocket Mortgage Classic, Joaquin Niemann has yet to slip up.
Admittedly, he came close during Saturday's third round. An air-mailed wedge shot left him short-sided in a bunker, but he displayed deft touch from the sand and saved par or better for the 50th consecutive hole. He didn't drop a shot coming in, and through three rounds at Detroit Golf Club he remains bogey-free as he looks to win for the second time on the PGA Tour. Read more
