Rocco Mediate continues to tumble and as a result we now have a five-way tie atop the leaderboard. Mediate is now 5 over on the day with bogeys on four of his last six holes.

Meanwhile, the three others tied with Mediate haven’t exactly lit it up. Chris Tidland has the best round going among that group at 2 under through 14 holes. And at 167th on the money list, he needs a round like today’s. Also among that group is Rickie Fowler, who at one point was 1 over but is now 1 under today.

And if that wasn’t enough, there are four others, including Kevin Stadler, that are within two of the lead and still on the golf course.

Today’s round is turning into one in which pars are a very good thing -- at least for Alex Prugh.

Prugh is even through his first 11 holes, but that’s been good enough to now move him to within one of Rocco Mediate, who is leaking oil at 4 over through 11 holes.

The cold-ish and rainy weather isn’t helping Mediate’s back, and hitting just four of eight fairways and four off 11 greens aren’t either. When you miss that green, your putting numbers are usually good, but Mediate has struggled with the flat stick too, taking 18 putts through 11 holes and a 2.250 average on putts per green in regulation.

No wonder he hasn’t made a birdie today. Now it’s just a matter of trying to hang on for Mediate.

A bogey on the par-5 12th hole may have just ended Kevin Stadler’s chances to win. Stadler missed the fairway left on the 596-yard hole and never was able to recover. It also brought to an end a stretch of 29 holes without a bogey for Stadler – his last came on the par-5 ninth on Friday.

The bogey also dropped Stadler three back of Rocco Mediate. Alex Prugh, meanwhile, has now moved into second. He’s two back and even on his round through 10 holes in what are less-than-ideal conditions with rain soaking the golf course. Just ask Bo Van Pelt. He’s 3 over through 10 holes and has dropped back into a four-way tie for third place.

Should Rocco Mediate (at 47 years, 10 months), who opened the day with a three-shot lead, go on to win he’d be the oldest winner on the PGA TOUR by a year since Kenny Perry at last year’s Travelers Championship.

This, however, is also Mediate’s 193rd start since his last victory, which came at the 2002 Wyndham Championship. This is also the sixth time in Mediate’s career that he’s held the 54-hole lead, though only 18 of 42 leaders or co-leaders going into the final round this year have gone on to win.

The bad news for Mediate today is that he’s 1 over through five holes.The slow start didn’t hurt him too much, however, because Bo Van Pelt, who began the day alone in second, is 2 over and now four shots back of Mediate.

Rocco Mediate will head into the final round with a shot at becoming a wire-to-wire winner at the Frys.com Open. Mediate jump started his round Saturday with a hole out on No. 15 for eagle to maintain his distance from the rest of the field. He's 17 under for the week. Trailing him is Bo Van Pelt, who carded a 65 Saturday, to get to 14 under for the tournament. Rookie Alex Prugh sits at 12 under after a five-hole birdie streak on the back nine, along with Ryuji Imada. And Rickie Fowler got to 11 under after a third-round 68.

Rocco Mediate made his third hole out of the tournament on Saturday on the par-5 15th.

Just when it looked like Rocco Mediate was losing control of the tournament, he eagled the par-5 15th to give himself a four-stroke lead. Mediate holed out from the fairway -- his third hole out of the tournament -- with his 111-yard approach shot. This has been quite a tournament of fireworks for Mediate, who hasn't won since 2002, as he also made a hole-in-one on Thursday. As he walked down the fairway after the hole out today, he could be heard saying "I don't know. This is silly." Mediate is now 17 under for the tournament.

Several players are putting together low rounds at CordeValle today, but are any of them low enough to overtake current leader Rocco Mediate? Troy Merritt is making the turn at five under for the day after carding a 31 on the back nine. That puts Merritt at six under for the week, still well behind Mediate who is currently 15 under par. The low round, though, could help push Merritt inside the top 125 (currently 126th) of the money list. Also of note, he birdied the Kodak Challenge hole, No. 17, to move one step closer to winning the million dollar prize. If it weren't for a pair of bogeys on the front nine, Chad Campbell might be within striking distance of Mediate. He's carded six birdies today through 13 holes to move to eight under for the tournament. John Daly is the other player at five under for the day so far. He opened with three-straight birdies to jump start his third round. Currently seven under for the tournament, though, he is still quite a ways behind Mediate, with seven holes to play. Follow the third-round scores on the live leaderboard.

Rocco Mediate is picking up right where he left off. He's made birdies on the first and fourth holes to move to 15 under for the week. "If I continue to keep striking it, I will be around," Mediate said on Friday. Apparently he is. Ryuji Imada, playing with Mediate in the third round, is the closest player within striking distance at 12 under. Track Mediate's progress in the third round with Shot Tracker.

Moving day is about more than just a player's standing on the Frys.com leaderboard this week. Several players are battling for a secure position within the top 125 on the money list to retain their PGA TOUR cards for next year. Here are a few bubble players to keep an eye on today. Ryuji Imada -- Imada has struggled with a rib injury this year and hasn't finished in the top 10 since a T7 back in March at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. He currently sits at 110th on the money list, but after shooting 65-67 in the first rounds, is projected to move up to a safe 64th.  Rocco Mediate -- If Mediate can hang on for the win, he stands to make a huge jump on the money list. He started the week ranked 182nd. The projected money list currently shows him moving 110 spots up to 72nd. David Duval --The former No. 1 golfer started the week at 109th. After a bogey-free 65 on Friday, Duval's move up the leaderboard into contention could also move him up the money list to inside the top 100. Dean Wilson -- Wilson sits near the bubble at 122nd on the money list. He came close to winning the RBC Canadian earlier this year, but had to settle for runner-up. With two more low rounds this weekend he could finally get the W, and lock up his card for 2011. Alex Prugh -- The rookie who made it to the Deutsche Bank Championship during the FedExCup Playoffs, kicked off the week at 104th, and is projected to crack the top 100 if he continues his current under-par play.
