(Reuters) - Defending champion Jimmy Walker seized control of the Sony Open on Saturday with a third-round 62 that gave him a two-stroke advantage and a shot at redemption at the Waialae Country Club in Honolulu, Hawaii.

Walker blew a golden chance of capturing last week's Hyundai Tournament of Champions in neighbouring Kapalua, where he led eventual winner Patrick Reed by four strokes with four holes to play before losing in a playoff.
