Atwal also fired a 61 for the first-round lead and was co-leader after round two. He reached 54 holes at 17-under 193 and is three strokes clear of the field.

American Scott McCarron closed his 63 with four straight birdies and was at 196 with Scott Piercy (64) and Lucas Glover (67).

Will MacKenzie (65), Garrett Willis (65), David Toms (65), Justin Leonard (66), John Rollins (68) and second-round co-leader Brandt Snedeker (69) were at 197.

Na wound up five strokes back at 198 at the Sedgefield Country Club.

Atwal, who is seeking his first win on the tour, is one good round away from becoming the first Monday qualifier to win the ensuing tournament since Fred Wadsworth at the 1986 Southern Open.
