US Tour:Rookies ruled for a third consecutive day in record style at the Sony Open in Hawaii as good friends Russell Henley and Scott Langley ended Saturday's third round in a tie for the lead.

Overnight pacesetter Henley fired a three-under-par 67 at Waialae Country Club in Honolulu while fellow American Langley carded a 65, the pair posting a tournament low of 17-under 193 after 54 holes.

The two 23-year-olds, each making their first starts as PGA Tour members, took a three-shot lead over South African Tim Clark (66) into yesterday’s final round.
