Kevin Kisner will take a one-shot lead into the final day of the US PGA Championship after a one-over-par 72 in his third round at Quail Hollow.
Kisner wobbled on some of the closing holes but finished on seven under, a shot ahead of fellow American Chris Stroud and Japan's Hideki Matsuyama.
Stroud carded a level-par 71 while Matsuyama, who started level with Kisner, slipped back with a 73.
Rory McIlroy and Jordan Spieth finished four over and three over respectively.
Despite carding a 71, it effectively ends American Spieth's hopes of breaking Tiger Woods' record as the youngest career Grand Slam champion as he will begin the final round 10 shots adrift of Kisner.
Another American, Justin Thomas, made a two-under 69 to tie for fourth alongside South Africa's Louis Oosthuizen who shot 71.
Former US PGA champion Jason Day carded a quadruple bogey eight on the 18th to fall from four under to level par, eight off the lead.
England's Paul Casey finished bogey, bogey, double bogey to drop back to level par but remains the highest placed British player.
Kisner and Stroud will be the final pairing to tee off on Sunday at 19:45 BST and the winner of the tournament has come from the last group in 18 of the past 20 years.
