Knost has hit four birdies on the day, and parred the rest to solidify his spot atop the leaderboard. Those just behind him are charging hard, however. Weekley is a two-time winner of the event, and has moved up nine spots after shooting 5-under through 17 holes. Estes is at 6-under with four holes still left to play, and has already made up 22 spots on the leaderboard.
Campbell dropped into a tie for fifth place with Carl Pettersson at 5-under overall after finishing the day at 1-under. Taylor dropped much more precipitously, shooting 2-over through 17 holes to drop to a seven-way tie for 14th.
