Morikawa sits at 18-under 198 heading into Sunday's final round.
Brooks Koepka is a distant five shots back, alone in second
place at 13 -under par.
Five players are tied for third at 12-under. Second-round leader
Bryson DeChambeau is ninth at 10-under after a 73.
Morikawa's round was bettered only by Harris English, who carded
a 63 to shoot into 11th place, 10 shots back.
Morikawa posted a clean round, finishing with six birdies and an
eagle on the par-5 third hole. Despite the big lead, Morikawa
said he won't change anything on Sunday.
"Look, I think the game plan I have so far -- it's not like I'm
playing crazy or I'm playing stupid -- I'm playing to my
strengths and that's what I have to stick with," Morikawa said.
"I'm going to keep doing what I do and if I don't feel
comfortable on a tee shot, maybe play back, but overall I feel
really good about the game so far."
Koepka, who posted five birdies against one bogey, is quite
aware of the ground he has to make up.
"Five back, so I've got to do something," Koepka said. "It's
always nice to be in the last group, but still got to play
good."
