Joaquin Niemann might be the one to take advantage of the relatively benign conditions.<\/strong> Out in 33, the Chilean, much touted as a major champion in waiting, has subsequently birdied 10 and now 13 to move to four under for his round, and +1 overall.

He ends the week at +3 and is the new clubhouse leader. Some more proof that there\u2019s a score out there for the chasing pack. Only problem being, it\u2019s also out there for Wyndham Clark, and look at the 64 he shot on Thursday when the wind was down.<\/p>\n
