Mitchell’s day did not get off to the start he wanted as he bogeyed three of the front nine, albeit mixed with two birdies, but a sensational comeback homeward nine put him in pole position heading into day four.
Mitchell’s birdie on hole 12 shifted him into gear and further birdies on holes 14, 16 and 17 set him up for a fantastic eagle on the last to rocket him to the top of the pile.
Power and Malnati shot 68 and overnight co-leader Hughes 69 to share second on eight under. Chandler Phillips, Cameron Young and Brendon Todd are one shot further back on seven under for the championship.
Speaking after his round, Power said: "I haven't really seen much of a leaderboard, don't watch too much of them, but it is tough to get a low one out there.
"No matter how well you played, it was going to be tough to get much better than four under (or) five under, I thought. It's tough to get away from the pack, so it's going to be some guys in with a chance."
The tournament has an overall purse of €7.7million, with the winner taking home €1.4million.
