The 25-year-old from Northern Ireland will play in the final group at Valhalla with the most surprising player in the field - Austria's Bernd Wiesberger.
The European Tour regular matched the best round of the week with a 65, leaving him a stroke back.
Rickie Fowler is right in the thick of things again, shooting 67 and two shots off the pace.
He'll play in the next-to-last group with Phil Mickelson, who birdied four of the last five holes. He was three shots back with Jason Day.
