Shane Lowry surged up the leaderboard at the RBC Heritage on Saturday after carding 65 to sit just one shot off the pace ahead of the final round.
The Offaly man mixed eight birdies with bogeys on the par-four third and sixth holes, while Harold Varner III went bogey-free with the day’s best score of 63 to be 11 under at Hilton Head Island.
Speaking after his round, he said: "Without complaining too much, 65 is the worst score I could have shot. I hit the ball unbelievable today, and I didn't really hole anything. That putt on the last is probably as long as I've holed all day.
"It was getting quite frustrating for a while, but I hit it in pretty close a couple of times and made a couple of nice birdies. It was really nice to birdie the last and get myself into double digits for the tournament."
Joining Lowry in second spot at 10 under were South African Erik van Rooyen and second-round leader Patrick Cantlay, after respective rounds of 67 and 70.
England’s Tommy Fleetwood carded an impressive 64 to be at eight under, his countryman Ian Poulter was another stroke back and Portrush native Graeme McDowell was part of a group tied for 30th at five under.
Meanwhile, Tyrrell Hatton is on three under and Luke Donald is another five strokes back.
