Rob Hall, of Shilo, and Nick Myhre, of Rolette, N.D., shot 4-under 68s to share a two-stroke lead. Fresh from a semifinal finish in the Manitoba Match Play Championship, Justin McDonald, of Breezy Bend, is in third place after carding a 2-under 70.
Grant McPhail, of Clear Lake, was Friday’s leader at 71 and last year’s runner-up, David Glenn, of Shilo, is next at even par 72.
Two others shot 1-over 73s; 2012 champion Jay Thiesen, of Russell, and Greyer Owl senior flight leader Keith Fawcett, of Clear Lake.
