Round of the day: Fowlers 7-under 64 tied for the low round of the day and it was easily the most impressive. Fowler started the third round with a one-shot advantage over Thomas, and proceeded to birdie four of his first six holes out of the gate. He held a five-shot advantage quickly and, thanks to a total of eight birdies to just one bogey, finished four clear with 18 holes to go.Best of the rest: Kuchar, already a two-time winner this season, emerged as Fowler's primary challenger, thanks to a 6-under 65. Kuchar has made only two bogeys all week. Chez Reavie tied the low round of the day with his 64. That moved him up 41 spots to T-12.Biggest disappointment: Thomas. Yes, he shot 68, but that was all because of a strong back nine. While Fowler Thomas roommate for the week was ripping off birdies on the front, Thomas shot 1-over 36 and fell five strokes in arrears. If not for four birdies on the inward half, Thomas would be completely out of the Sunday mix.Shot of the day: As mentioned, Fowler birdied four of his first six holes to separate himself. That birdie run included this 37-footer at the par-4 fifth.

"If they factored that in at the bookies, it's kind of saying that they reckoned I was playing really horrible. Maybe I should have been a 100-1 only it was a links course. I felt it was, for once, not often you get value on an Irish player in Ireland. 66-1 on a links course did seem a little long," he said.
