Matt and Alex Fitzpatrick posted a 15-under 57 in better-ball play at TPC Louisiana, reaching 30-under 186 through 54 holes, both tournament records.
Matt, ranked third in the world, and Alex, seeking his first PGA Tour title, combined for eight birdies on the back nine after a pre-dawn thunderstorm allowed lift, clean, and place conditions.
Alex Smalley and Hayden Springer, previous record holders, now share second place with Davis Thompson and Austin Eckroat. Zach Bauchou made the event's first hole-in-one since 2024, while other teams trail by at least five shots.
