American Patrick Cantlay leads the Genesis Invitational by two shots heading into the final round.
Cantlay, 31, was five shots clear at the halfway stage but his advantage was cut after he struggled to a one-under 70 in his third round on Saturday.
Xander Schauffele and Will Zalatoris both carded 65s to move 12 under overall – two behind Cantlay.
World number two Rory McIlroy hit five birdies and three bogeys as he carded a 69 and is joint 27th on four under.
The four-time major champion is joined by Englishman Tommy Fleetwood, who shot a 71 at the Riviera Country Club in California.
Cantlay, who is seventh in the world rankings, opened with a birdie but handed the stroke back at the third when he missed a seven-foot putt to save par.
He then recovered to make tap-in birdies at the 11th and 13th to climb to 15 under, before trouble off the tee at the penultimate hole led to a bogey.
Fellow American Schauffele, meanwhile, started strongly with an eagle at the par-five first and produced four birdies in his final nine holes, while compatriot Zalatoris made seven birdies and just one bogey.
