India's Shubhankar Sharma ground it out for an even par 72 that kept him in contention for a PGA Tour card despite dropping from tied third to tied 10th in the second round of the Korn Ferry Tour Championship.
Sharma shot 72 to get to six-under 138 here on Saturday.
The Indian needs to finish sole sixth or better to lock his PGA Tour card for 2019-20. He is six off the lead, as Chris Baker with 69 moved to 12-under, but Scottie Scheffler, at sixth, is just two ahead of Sharma.
India's Anirban Lahiri has already locked his PGA Tour card but skipped the Tour Championship to be with his family in Palm Beach where Hurricane Dorian is expected to hit in the coming days.
Baker shot 69 at the Victoria National Golf Club to take the 36-hole lead while Lanto Griffin and Tom Lewis sit two shots off the pace at 10-under 134. The 33-year-old Baker, who turned professional in 2008, is in search of his first PGA TOUR card.
Sharma, starting from the tenth, had a bogey on 14th, but birdied the 15th ..

Union Berlin pulled off perhaps the biggest victory in their turbulent history, defeating Borussia Dortmund 3-1 at the Stadion An der Alten Foersterei.
Dortmund came into the match heavily favoured to win and reclaim their place on top of the table but struggled to match Berlin's enthusiasm in sweltering conditions in the German capital on Saturday.
Union were 1-0 in the 22nd minute, with Marius Buelter scoring the side's first ever top-flight goal at home.
Buelter latched onto a Berlin corner which had been struck low and fast, hammering the ball into the bottom right of the net.
The goal stung Dortmund into action, who equalised just two minutes later through Paco Alcacer.
Dortmund coasted through the remainder of the first half, dominating possession and territory as they went in search of what seemed like an inevitable second.
It was Union who would score next, however, with Buelter grabbing a second by pouncing on a desperate clearance from Dortmund keeper Roman Buerki.

Swansea edged Leeds 1-0 in their top-of-the-table Championship clash to go two points clear in their best start to a league campaign in 40 years.
Wayne Routledge scored a minute from time in a match Leeds dominated at Elland Road but their weakness from last season came back to haunt them as they failed to take their chances on Saturday.
Routledge struck after the hosts had failed to clear a corner several times to maintain manager Steve Cooper's dream start to his spell, despite selling several key players in the close season.
Cooper, who coached the England Under-17 team to World Cup glory in 2017, appears to be rewarding the bold move by the board to hire him to replace Graham Potter after he left for Brighton.
"It is the perfect result, a clean sheet away from home and scoring one," said Cooper.
"It is a good return. I'm not going to be too reserved, but there are 40 games left.
"I feel like we have played 30 already! Of course, it is a good start, encouraging. A good tally so ...

Russian fifth seed Daniil Medvedev was fined USD 9,000 (8,187 euros) by the US Open after his unsportsmanlike remarks and obscene gesture in a Friday night triumph.
Medvedev defeated Spain's Feliciano Lopez to reach the fourth round of the year's last Grand Slam tournament at Flushing Meadows.
He was issued a code violation early in the match for tossing a towel.
As he later walked to his chair, Medvedev lifted his middle finger to the side of his head away from the view of the chair umpire but not from stadium cameras, which showed the image on the stadium video screen.
While he was not issued a violation, the umpire only having seen the image on replay, Medvedev drew boos from the crowd the remainder of the night.
He later said the hostile atmosphere inspired him to victory.  Medvedev was fined USD 5,000 for unsportsmanlike conduct and USD 4,000 for his obscene gesture.
"It was tough. I was in the heat of the moment and started losing the momentum. I don't really remember but I paid

Washington moved ahead Sunday with new tariffs on Chinese imports as it stepped up a high-pressure campaign aimed at coercing Beijing to sign a new trade deal even amid fears of a further slowing of US and world growth.
The additional 15 per cent tariffs, affecting a portion of the USD 300 billion in goods from the Asian giant that so far has been spared, took effect at 04H01 GMT, according to the US Trade Representative's office.
President Donald Trump on Friday ruled out any further postponement. "They're on," he told reporters.
The new tariffs will target a range of products, from foodstuffs (ketchup, butchered meat, pork sausage, fruits, vegetables, milk, cheese) to sports equipment (golf clubs, surf boards, bicycles), to musical instruments, sportswear and furniture, according to an official list.
Economists at the Washington-based Peterson Institute for International Economics estimate USD 112 billion in goods will be affected.
The trade war touched off by Trump more than a year

Kalidou Koulibaly handed Juventus a dramatic win with a last-gasp own goal that consigned Napoli to a painful 4-3 Serie A defeat after his side had battled back from three goals down to level the scores.
The Senegal international shanked in Paulo Dybala's free-kick under no pressure in the second minute of stoppage time to hand Juve the three points in Turin on Saturday and put Maurizio Sarri's side top with a maximum six points, leaving Napoli with nothing to show for their Herculean efforts.
"It was a rollercoaster. We lost control of the game and got distracted, so they managed to equalise, but fortunately in the end we still won," said Gonzalo Higuain, who spun Koulibaly before slamming home Juve's superb second.
"It is a very important victory. We have a lot to improve, but we gave our all on the pitch and were eventually rewarded."
Koulibaly's blunder undid all of Napoli's good work in fighting back from the dead with less than half-an-hour left, with goals from Danilo just 20 ..

A rested and healthy Rafael Nadal rolled into the US Open's fourth round, wishing he had been pushed harder as he charges after a 19th Grand Slam title.
The 33-year-old Spaniard, who won his 12th French Open title in June, advanced to the last 16 by defeating 170th-ranked South Korean qualifier Chung Hyeon 6-3, 6-4, 6-2 on Saturday.
"I didn't face a break point. That's a positive thing," Nadal said.
"And the best thing is without playing great, playing a normal match, I was able to have a very comfortable score. That means a lot of things, positive ones.
"Now is the moment to push, to make a step forward if I want to give me a chance to fight for the important things. That's what I'm going to try."
Nadal, a three-time US Open champion, said he wished he had been able to play a second-round match against injured Australian Thanasi Kokkinakis instead of advance by walkover and rest for three days.

Vasyl Lomachenko, widely regarded as the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world, beat British challenger Luke Campbell in a thrilling bout to win the vacant WBC lightweight title in London.
The 31-year-old Ukrainian, who had been world champion at three different weights in only a 14-bout professional career prior to the fight, won by a unanimous decision on Saturday to add the WBC belt to his WBA and WBO titles in the weight.
Lomachenko's target is to have all four major belts with Ghana's Richard Commey holding the IBF version.
Lomachenko, whose record reads 14 wins and one defeat, acknowledged the toughness of the bout.
"Of course I'm happy," he told Sky Sports.
"I want to thank everyone who came to support this beautiful fight and of course I'm happy this is my title."
Campbell, who like Lomachenko won Olympic gold in 2012 not far from the O2 Arena where they fought on Saturday, insisted he can still win a world title.
"He's a special fighter," Campbell told Sky Sports.

Space-starved Singapore has expanded outwards by building into the sea and upwards by constructing high-rises but planners are now looking underground as they seek new areas for growth.
The nation has carefully managed its rapid growth in recent decades to avoid the problems faced by other fast developing Asian metropolises, such as overcrowding and traffic chaos.
But with its population of 5.6 million expected to grow steadily in coming years, authorities are now considering how to better use the space below the streets in a city that is just half the size of Los Angeles.
Singapore has already built an underground highway and state-of-the-art air conditioning system, but is now looking to house more facilities beneath the surface in order to optimise land use above it.
"We need to consider options for putting critical infrastructure underground," Abhineet Kaul, a Singapore-based public sector specialist at consultancy Frost & Sullivan, told AFP.
"We have an increasing need for ...

Naomi Osaka predicted she will strike up an exciting rivalry with American teen sensation Coco Gauff as part of a changing landscape at the top of women's tennis.
Defending US Open champion Osaka outclassed the tearful 15-year-old 6-3, 6-0 in just over an hour Saturday to advance to the fourth round in New York.
But world number one Osaka, also the reigning Australian Open champion, anticipates the pair will wage battles on the court for years to come.
"I feel like of course we're going to play multiple times in the future. She's so young. That's definitely going to happen," Osaka said.
"She seems very intelligent, so I think there's automatically things that she's going to change the next time that we play.
"I'm not necessarily looking forward to that, but I think it will be fun for you guys to watch."
Gauff, who made a run to the Wimbledon fourth round last month on her Grand Slam debut, was seeking to become the youngest player to make the US Open last 16 since Russia's Anna ...

US teenager Yealimi Noh fired eight birdies in an eight-under par 64 on Saturday to take a three-shot lead over Hannah Green after three rounds of the LPGA Portland Classic.
Noh, who made the field through Monday qualifying, posted the low round of the day at Columbia Edgewater Country Club in Oregon for a 19-under par total of 197.
"I was hoping for a good week, but to be in contention, I'm really excited," said Noh, who turned professional in January at age 17.
"Yesterday, too, I was just like, I couldn't really sleep. I was excited to come out and try to move on moving day."
She roared past Australia's Green, who held a five-shot overnight lead after rounds of 64 and 63 but finished the day with a one-over 73 that left her on 200.
"The greens were a lot quicker, I think a lot quicker than the practice green and maybe that threw a few people off," said Green, winner of the Women's PGA Championship this year for her first LPGA title.
"It certainly surprised me once I got out there, ..

Former world champion Erislandy Lara continued his trek back toward the top of the super-welterweight ranks with a second-round demolition of Ramon Alvarez.
Cuban-born Lara gained the World Boxing Association's second-tier "regular" world title in the 154-pound category with a dominant display over the overweight and overmatched Mexican in Minneapolis, Minnesota on Saturday.
Only Lara was eligible to win the vacant title after Alvarez, brother of middleweight king Canelo Alvarez, failed to make weight on Friday by more than four pounds.
Lara was in control from the start, battering Alvarez into the ropes in the second round. After Alvarez survived a standing count, Lara unleashed another barrage and the fight was halted at 2:03 of the second round.
Alvarez's corner and the referee moved simultaneously to stop it.
Lara, who improved to 26-3-3 with 15 knockouts, gained a measure of revenge against the Alvarez family. He lost a controversial narrow split-decision to Canelo Alvarez in ...

India's Hanuma Vihari dedicated his maiden Test ton to his late father, keeping a promise he made to himself right after he lost one of his favourites 13 years ago.
Apart from remembering his father, Vihari thanked bowler Ishant Sharma for batting, at times, better than the recognised batsman at the other end during their partnership in the second Test against West Indies.
The unassuming Vihari felt Ishant helped him keep his word.
"Actually, my dad passed away when I was 12 so ever since, I have decided that when I play international cricket I want to dedicate my first hundred to him," Vihari said after his career-best 111.
The 25-year-old added, "Today is an emotional day and I hope he is proud wherever he is and I'm really happy that I achieved that."
Together with Ishant (57 off 80 balls), who scored his maiden fifty, Vihari shared 112 runs off 28.3 overs for the eighth wicket to frustrate the West Indies for a long time.
"Happy that I got a century and credit should go to Ishant.

Australia's Nick Kyrgios was dumped from the US Open, falling to Russian Andrey Rublev and overheard saying he really didn't want to be on the court.
Rublev advanced to a fourth-round match against Italian 24th seed Matteo Berrettini with a 7-6 (7/5), 7-6 (7/5), 6-3 triumph.
"Nowhere near my best tennis, but it is what it is," Kyrgios said.
A microphone caught Kyrgios commenting that he wanted to go home, which prompted Kyrgios to say, "I guess I've been on the road five and a half months now. It's not easy."
It didn't get any easier with the ATP issuing a record USD 113,000 record fine to Kyrgios for his actions at an event in Cincinnati.
And Kyrgios could face punishment for calling the ATP "corrupt" after a US Open victory, although he later tweeted a statement saying that was a poor choice of words for the issue of double standards he wanted to raise.
The ATP is investigating the remark as a major player violation, which could carry a possible suspension.
That would bring time off

Defending champion Naomi Osaka consoled a tearful Coco Gauff after a crushing US Open victory in a showdown billed as "the future of women's tennis" while Rafael Nadal cruised into the last 16.
World number one Osaka overpowered 15-year-old Gauff 6-3, 6-0 in 65 minutes to keep her title defense on track before sharing a warm embrace with an opponent overwhelmed by the occasion in the New York spotlight.
The emotional clash was followed by tearful on-court interviews, Osaka asking Gauff to join her with the microphone as they met at the net.
"It was kind of instinctive because when I shook her hand, I saw that she was kind of tearing up a little. Then it reminded me how young she was," Osaka said.
"I wanted her to have her head high, not walk off the court sad. I want her to, like, be aware that she's accomplished so much and she's still so young."
Osaka said the match was one of her best since winning the Australian Open title.
"This is the most focused I've been since Australia," ...

Monday marks 50 years since the death of Vietnam's revolutionary leader Ho Chi Minh, whose embalmed corpse is on show at a stately mausoleum in Hanoi where it is visited by millions annually -- despite his dying wish to be cremated.
Posters, busts, statues and plaques honouring the father of modern-day Vietnam are ubiquitous across the country, today a bustling capitalist one-party state where communist politics still reign supreme.
The embalmed body of "Uncle Ho" has been on show under a glass sarcophagus since 1975 at his towering tomb. It is expected to draw huge crowds on his death anniversary Monday, which also happens to be Vietnam's National Day.
Russian revolutionary Vladimir Lenin was the original communist leader to be embalmed, starting a trend among hard-left regimes around the world.
Lenin died in 1924 aged 53, and had wanted to be buried with his mother in the former imperial capital of Saint Petersburg, but was instead preserved in a mausoleum on Red Square, where he ...

The incomparable Jasprit Bumrah became only the third Indian to pick a Test hat-trick after Hanuma Vihari's maiden ton, powering the visitors to a commanding position in the second match against the West Indies here.
In a lethal opening spell on Saturday, Bumrah (6/16) rattled the West Indies by picking up the first five wickets, three of which came in successive balls in the ninth over.
As a result, the hosts, trailing 0-1 in the two-match series, were tottering at 87 for seven at stumps on the second day.
Bumrah made inroads into West Indies line-up in the seventh over by inducing an edge from John Campbell, which Rishabh Pant accepted gleefully.
Bumrah was at his best as he picked up the wickets of Darren Bravo, Shamarh Brooks and Roston Chase to register his name in the record books.
He first had Bravo caught by K L Rahul in the second slip and then had both Brooks and Chase LBW in the next two balls.
Part of the credit for Bumrah's hat-trick must also go to skipper Virat Kohli, ..

Thomas Markle, Meghan Markle's estranged father, has criticised being made a "ghost" in her life -- while accusing his daughter of telling "lies" about how she financed her university education.
The 75-year-old, who lives in Mexico, said in a British newspaper interview published Sunday that he had not heard from the Duchess of Sussex or her husband Prince Harry since skipping their 2018 wedding.
He told the Daily Mail he had hoped to receive a photograph of his royal grandson Archie, born earlier this year, but had so far been rebuffed.
"There was never any problem between Meghan and me until recently," said Thomas Markle, who missed walking his daughter down the aisle at her Windsor Castle nuptials due to health problems and then became embroiled in a paparazzi photo scandal.
"I've stayed quiet because Meghan was pregnant with Archie but I'm speaking out now because they and their PR people are continuing to ghost me out of her life," he added.
"Sometimes I get the feeling people ...
