Manitoba’s premier pro golfer is ahead of the pack with just one round remaining at a DP World Tour event.
Aaron Cockerill of Stony Mountain leads the 2023 ISPA Handa Championship by one shot after 54 holes, firing a brilliant 6-under 64 Saturday at a course in Omitama, Japan.
Cockerill began the third round with a hat-trick of birdies and made four more along the way, bogeying only the 15th, and made pars on the final three holes to finish -13.

“Dream start,” he told reporters. “An awesome start and played steady the rest of the way, but overall a very good day. I feel really good. This is the best I’ve hit the ball in a long time and it’s required out here, with the rough being up and it’s firm.
“Just putting it in the fairway, and everything else has been really solid, so I’ll look to continue that Sunday.”
Australian Lucas Herbert and Scotland’s David Law are just one shot back.
Cockerill and Law, the tournament’s final pair, are scheduled to tee off Sunday at 12:20 p.m. local time. That’s Saturday at 10:20 p.m. CT.
