Seamus Power is six shots off the lead at the 3M Open in Minnesota.
The Waterford man carded four birdies and one bogey en route to a three-under 68 to leave him just outside the top 20 heading into the final round.
Perhaps reeling from last night's closing double bogey, it was a slow start for Power who was one-over through his first five holes.
However, the middle portion of the round is where he gained momentum, with birdies at 6, 8, 12 and 16.
Power currently sits outside the top 125 in the FedEx Cup and will be keen for a strong Sunday finish in order to try and make the play-offs.
The lead is jointly held by Akshay Bhatia, who recorded an eight-under 63, and Denmark's Thorbjorn Olesen, who are on 18-under par heading into Sunday.
In a congested leaderboard, they are one stroke clear of a quartet of players, Jake Knapp, Kurt Kitayama, Takumi Kanaya and Sam Stevens.
Scottish Open winner Chris Gotterup and Alex Noren are among those on 16-under, while 2023 US Open champion Wyndham Clark is among a group of players on 14-under.
