Ireland's Seamus Power remains in contention at the Shriners Children's Open after a three under 68 second round on Friday.
The Waterford native - bouncing back from last week’s missed cut on his return to competition - is eight under overall and six off the leaders heading into the weekend.
Sungjae Im and Chad Ramey both followed up their opening 63 with a 65 to share the lead in Las Vegas.
South Korean Im, starting on the back nine, had three birdies on his first nine holes and another three after the turn for 14 under in the tournament.

Ramey, who also got underway on 10, picked up five shots in his first nine holes of the day, a bogey on one saw him drop to four under but another birdie on nine took him to top of the leader board heading into the weekend.
Sam Burns and Adam Schenk sit a shot behind, England’s Harry Hall is on 11 under and tied for sixth, while overnight leader Sung Kang signed for a 73 to move down to eight under and sit in a group tied for 17th which also includes Power.
