Dalton’s Michael Clark II shot himself into contention in the Nationwide Tour’s Fresh Express Classic at TPC Stonebrae in Hayward, Calif., on Friday.
Clark, who started the tournament with a 3-under 68, came back with a second-day 7-under 64 that left him at 10-under 132.
David Heam shot 65 for a 129 and leads Miguel Angel Carballo and Frank Lickliter II by two shots.
Three other golfers — Jon Mills, Doug LaBelle II and Colt Knost — share fourth place with Clark.
Clark’s front side on Friday included a bogey at No. 5 and a double-bogey 7 at No. 9. He birdied the 10th, 11th and 14th holes before dropping in an eagle-3 on the par-5 15th to kick his round into high gear.
Clark kept it going with a birdie on No. 16 and closed the day with a birdie-3 on the finishing hole.
