The Mexico Open has reached the third round, with Tony Finau poised for a weekend charge as the defending champion looks to hunt down a quartet of leaders.
A four-under-par second round - featuring two eagles - leaves Finau just inside the top ten on -6 but five shots back of the leading four.
Matt Wallace claimed his maiden PGA Tour victory at the Corales Puntacana Championship last year and leads the way in Mexico alongside Alvaro Ortiz, Jake Knapp and Sami Valimaki on -11.
Valimaki, who only got his Tour card for the first time at the start of this season, would become the first Finnish player to ever win on Tour and is right in contention after another steady round on Friday.
Valimaki and Wallace get underway at 1.45pm ET (6.45pm GMT), while Ortiz and Knapp tee off 10 minutes earlier at 1.35pm ET (6.35pm GMT). Ortiz has pedigree in this event having won the tournament in 2021 before it was an official PGA Tour event.
South Africa's Erik van Rooyen sits just one shot back of the leaders at -10, while Andrew Novak and Mark Hubbard sit two shots further back on -8.
Below are the tee times for round three of the Mexico Open.
