Séamus Power boosted his chances of retaining his full PGA Tour card with a third round 65 at the RSM Classic in Georgia. The tournament is the final event of the FedExCup Fall with the top 100 in the rankings earning full tour privileges. Power entered this week 129th in the standings, likely needing a top three finish to breach the top 100. 

The Waterford man's five-under round on Saturday leaves him on 15-under for the tournament, four shots behind Finnish leader Sami Valimaki, and just two behind Americans Patrick Rodgers and Michael Thorbjornsen who are tied for second.
