Matt McCarty will enter the final round of the inaugural Black Desert Championship with a two-stroke lead.
McCarty shot a seven-under 64 on Saturday, collecting six birdies, an eagle and two bogeys.
Between holes four to eight, he notched four birdies and chipped in for an eagle on the par-five seventh.
A three-time Korn Ferry Tour winner this season, the 26-year-old is chasing his first PGA victory after tying for 63rd last week in his tour debut.
McCarty is ahead of second-round leader Stephan Jaeger, who shot 68 on Saturday, and fellow countrymen Joe Highsmith, Kevin Steelman and Harris English.
Seamus Power is in a share of 36th on nine under par, 10 shots behind Carty, after a 68.
The Waterford man was two over thru six but flawless for the remainder, sinking five birdies for a round of three under.
