The American fired a four-under par 68 for a 10-under total of 206 -- good enough for the solo lead after American Kevin Na three-putted for double bogey at the 18th to fall two shots adrift.
Kirk was one in front of a trio of Americans. Kevin Kisner carded a 67, while Ben Martin and Bill Haas both posted 68s for 207.
