RCB Heritage is set for a Monday finish but with Scottie Scheffler five strokes ahead and three holes to play, it's more of a victory march.
The US Open champion and world number one continued his great form at Hilton Head in South Carolina on the fourth day of the tournament, hitting an eagle and two birdies across 15 holes.
A storm stopped play for two and a half hours with darkness forcing a finish on Monday.
Fellow American Wyndham Clark had a strong day through his 18 holes, moving into second place with eight birdies and an eagle, but two bogeys and a double bogey stopped him from further encroaching on Scheffler's lead.
Clark is tied with Americans Patrick Cantlay and J T Poston, who have one hole left to play and Sahith Theegala, who has three holes left to play.
The indomitable Scheffler is looking for his fourth win in five starts.
