Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry are one shot behind leader Sepp Straka going into Sunday's final round of the Pebble Beach Pro-Am in California.
The pair, who were team-mates for Ireland at the Paris 2024 Olympics, both hit seven-under-par rounds of 65 to reach 15 under in cold, wet and windy conditions.
They both made a hole-in-one during their first rounds but fell off the pace during the second round with a pair of 70s.
"Let's hope one of us does the business," said Lowry, from County Offaly in the Republic of Ireland.
The 37-year-old and Northern Ireland's McIlroy, 35, looked set to be the leaders heading into the final day.
But Austria's Straka, who led the tournament after two rounds, birdied four of his final five holes to card a 70 and move clear.
England's Justin Rose is two shots behind on 14 under, alongside Tom Kim and Cam Davis, after a round of 68.
World number one Scottie Scheffler is on 10 under, as he makes his first PGA Tour appearance of the season following a hand injury.
"It was a really good poor-weather performance," said four-time major winner McIlroy. "One thing I'm trying to get better at is trying to play more bogey free-rounds.
"I think just playing a little smarter, playing the right shot at the right time, not hitting destructive shots. It feels a little more boring at times, but it's definitely more effective."
Lowry, who started his round with birdie, eagle, birdie, discussed the weather conditions, adding: "I live in Florida for a reason.
"It was like this in Ireland when I was home at Christmas and my golf clubs sat in my hall. I didn't play golf. When the weather is like that, I don't play golf anymore."
