Seamus Power improved his score at the Sentry Tournament of Champions overnight to go to 14 under.
A bogey-free third round saw him sign his card for 69 to take a share of 19th in the standings.
Having opened on Thursday with a mixed bag over & under par scoring, he has now gone the following two rounds sub 70 in Hawaii.
Australian Cameron Smith has been the man to catch since the action got underway in the Aloha State, but Spaniard John Rahm has managed just that shooting 61 on Saturday to go level with Smith at the top.
The Tooranena native, Power, will be playing with Si Woo Kim once again on Sunday when they get underway at ten past seven Irish time.
