Matt McCarty will enter the final round of the inaugural Black Desert Championship with a two-stroke lead, with Waterford's Seamus Power 10 shots behind.
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.
Power began with three birdies in the first five holes but ran out of steam on the back-nine, as four bogeys left him way down the leaderboard on nine under.
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.
Englishman Harry Hall sits four strokes off the lead, registering a seven-under 64.
