Brandt Snedeker will head into the final round of the Fiji International with a three-shot lead over Anthony Houston and Matthew Giles.
Snedeker gained his advantage after his nearest challengers Houston and Giles fired over-par third rounds at Natadola Bay Golf Club.
Ryder Cup star Snedeker, fresh from winning three points from three to help the United States defeat Europe at Hazeltine last week, posted a solid two-under-par 70 on Saturday to move to 12 under.
"It was a tough day, I did a great job of hanging in there. I hit the ball really well off the tee with one exception and put the ball where I needed to all day," Snedeker said.
"A three-shot lead in wind like this is one hole so I need to go out there and play a solid round of golf like I did today."
Houston, who had started the day tied for second with Snedeker, had to settle for a 73, while halfway leader Giles managed only a 75 after a nightmare start which included three bogeys over his first eight holes.
New Zealand pair Michael Hendry (68) and Gareth Paddison (69) were joint fourth on seven under.
