"It's always a struggle trying to keep everything dry. It was definitely challenging," said McGreevy of the weather after his round. "I was glad I was able to put another good round out there."

Techakanokboon moved into contention with a 7-under 65, a day after shooting a 73. It's been an up-and-down week for the American of Thai descent, as Techakanokboon fired a 66 to start the tournament. Techakanokboon says his strategy is to take advantage of Nantong Yangtze River Golf Club's four par-5s, something he did Saturday, with birdies at No 4, No 10 and No 12. He made a par-5 at No 9.

"I'm just trying to take down the par-5s, be smart but when I have a wedge in hand be a little more aggressive," Techakanokboon said.

Did you know that Max McGreevy comes from good golf bloodlines, with his father, Brian, a former collegiate golfer at the University of Kansas and his uncle Tom McGreevy a golfer at Arizona State? Tom played on Sun Devil teams in the early 1970s that featured future PGA TOUR stars Bob Gilder and Howard Twitty.
