The American, who led by a single stroke going into Saturday, turned on the style on the back nine with six birdies, giving him nine for the day against just one bogey, for a three-round mark of 21 under par.
PGA Tour Rookie of the Year Schauffele remained within sight of his compatriot at 17-under after a 5-under 67, while South Korea's Sung-hoon Kang is a further shot away.
