Sebastian Munoz followed his first-round 61 with a Friday 67 to move three shots clear as they go into the weekend at the Greenbrier Classic and the 250-1 ante-post chance is 13-2 to taste PGA Tour glory for the first time.

Munoz is three ahead of Ben Martin and CareerBuilder champion Hudson Swafford with Russell Henley and 2015 champion Danny Lee fourth shots off the pace.

Bookmakers believe that Henley and Lee will provide the biggest threat to Munoz and they are both available to back at 7-1.

Threeball punters are point towards Xander Schauffele, who starts round three alongside Nick Taylor at 6.20pm.

Schauffele has been playing solid golf recently, including a top-five finish at the US Open last month. He followed up a 64 with 69 at the Old White TPC and rates a better option than Taylor.

The Canadian has only hit 55 per cent of greens in regulation this week - 20 per cent less than the field average - and similar stats will surely see him slip out of contention on moving day.
