Tim Wilkinson has maintained his top 20 placing at the Wyndham Championship in Greensboro, North Carolina, while fellow Kiwi Steve Alker has slid down the leaderboard as the season-ending tournament heads into the fourth and final round.
Wilkinson moved up one place on the leaderboard to 18th, a position he shares with Colombian Camilo Villegas and American Matt Every after shooting two-under 68 in the third round.
He sits seven shots behind leader Henrik Stenson of Sweden, who moved up two places after shooting an impressive four-under 66, leaving his tally at 16-under.
Alker, however, dropped 24 places after shooting 71, and is now 10 shots off the pace, tied for 43rd.
The top-125 ranked golfers on the FedEx Cup point scoring chart at the conclusion on Sunday will automatically retain full Tour rights for next season.
