A second round of 64 has not only seen Nathan leap into a strong position at the end of day two at the US Bank Championship in Milwaukee, but by completing his round early he has avoided the weather enforced darkness delay that many will face and can now contemplate the prospect of a third round in contention.

With still half the field yet to complete their second rounds, Nathan finds himself in a share fo third place, three shots behind the current leader Corey Pavin who still has seven holes to play on his return to the course on Saturday morning.   

Nathan was out early on day two looking to get his first round completed before he started his second round. He made a fast start with two early birdies but then dropped shots at his fifth and sixth holes but finished with a flurry, recording three birdies in his last five holes for 67.

Returning to the course not long after completing round one, Nathan took up where he left off, making the turn in 30 and then adding two further birdies at the two par fives late in his round for a second round of 64.
