The Waterford man had been beautifully positioned at the halfway stage.

That was where the momentum stalled with five successive pars followed by a first bogey, at the par-four 16th. The situation lasted for at least ten minutes and one rules official somehow thought it necessary to put the group on the clock. It was a stunning turnaround in fortunes for the 35-year old who has been in exceptional form the last year or more. So much to play for, but the home challenge will not be part of the drama. Any number of players will tee off on Sunday with a belief that they are in a position to claim the win. A four-under par 68 leaves Poland’s Adrian Meronk alone on the summit at 14-under.

I felt like my putting has been trending in the right direction but not really holing anything and it was nice to see them go in today.” “I’m feeling pretty confident I felt like I hit the ball really well today and just really capitalised on the chances that I gave myself. “I’ve been working on my commitment before every shot the last couple of weeks and it seems like it’s working pretty well so I’ll just keep doing that and we’ll see what happens.”

Shane Lowry now the best of the home contenders after Power cards 77 in third round at Mount Juliet.

Lowry got inside the cut with a sizzling late run of four birdies to finish in his second round on Friday and, although such fireworks weren’t replicated, he was well within himself in signing for a 68. Lowry’s 68 for 209 meant he moved into the role of leading Irish player, but well back in tied-19th place. Meronk shot a 68 for 202, 14 under par, to assume the lead with a group of three players – Jack Senior, Fabrizio Zanotti and Jorge Campoillo – one stroke behind.
