Canadian Graham DeLaet finished at five-under 66, recording just one bogey. Martin Kaymer (GER) and Thomas Pieters (BEL) trail closely at four under.
Justin Rose (ENG) recorded the first hole-in-one in Olympic history, acing the par-3 fourth hole. He is currently tied for fifth place with Byeong-Hun An (KOR) and Rafael Cabrera-Bello (ESP) at three under.
