Gareth Maybin was unable to move up the field on day three of the Wales Open as his two-over 73 left him in joint 61st on six over par for the tournament.
Maybin lies 13 shots behind leader Peter Uhlein, who enjoys a three-shot lead over Thomas Levet and Gregory Bourdy, who are both four under.
Damien McGrane is tied for seventh on two under following a steady round of 70.
Europe Ryder Cup captain Paul McGinley fell back to three over after a 77.
David Higgins remained on two over after a 71 which left him sharing 31st place.
Maybin, whose European Tour Card for 2014 looks safe with him currently lying in 80th position in the rankings, was in a share of 64th place.
Overnight leader Liam Bond slipped back to two over after a 78.
Meath man McGrane could do with a good finish this week as he is currently 111th in the Race to Dubai standings with only the top 110 assured of tour cards for next season.
Maybin struggled over his front nine on Saturday as a double bogey at the third was followed by further dropped shots at the fourth and eighth as he went to the turn in 40.
After dropping a further stroke at the long 11th, the Ballyclare man regrouped with three birdies in four holes from the 12th as he eventually signed for a 73.
