Grayson Murray will take a two-shot lead in to the weekend at Sanderson Farms Championship, where Ian Poulter has missed the cut.
Murray reeled off eight birdies during a seven-under 65 in Mississippi, tapping in for a gain on his final hole to move two clear of fellow Web.com Tour graduate Seamus Power and England's Greg Owen.
Overnight leader Kevin Streelman lies four strokes adrift following a one-over 73, while Poulter suffered an early exit as he continues his comeback from injury.
Playing in his third worldwide event since being sidelined with a foot problem in June, Poulter missed from eight feet to bogey the first and dropped another shot at the par-four sixth.
Back-to-back gains from the eighth saw Poulter reach the turn level-par, only for him to three-putt the 11th and bogey three of his final four holes to card a three-over 75.
After posting an opening-hole bogey, Murray picked up four birdies on his way to a front nine 33 and added four more gains after the turn to grab the 36-hole advantage.
Owen, making his 250th US PGA Tour start this week, posted a second successive 67 to join Power on 10 under, with Graham DeLaet and Lucas Glover part of the group a further stroke back.
Cody Gribble fired six birdies on the back nine on his way to a round-of-the-day 63 to get to eight under, while top seed Chris Kirk is part of a six-way tie four off the pace.
