Action at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson continues on the weekend, with a packed leaderboard and eight players separated by just three shots at the top.

Fresh off his maiden PGA Tour win at the Mexico Open earlier in the season, Jake Knapp holds the lead at the halfway stage on -14 after two successive rounds of 64 at TPC Craig Ranch.

The American gets underway on Saturday at 1.55pm local time alongside fellow countrymen Troy Merritt who sits just one stroke back after he shot into contention following a superb second-round 62.

First-round leader Matt Wallace is also on -13, with Kelly Kraft a further shot back on -12. Keith Mitchell and Davis Riley headline a four-man chasing pack on -11.

Further down the leaderboard, there will be eyes on defending champion Jason Day who made the cut on the number and will need to go low on moving day to stand a chance of retaining his title. The Australian gets underway at 8.40am local time alongside Tom Kim.

And many will also be watching out for young English amateur Kris Kim after he became the youngest-ever European to make a cut in a PGA Tour event. The 16-year-old shot rounds of 68 and 67 to sit on -7 heading into the weekend and begins his third round alongside Carson Young at 9.20am local time.
