Alex Smalley is back in contention to win his first PGA Tour event.
The Jamestown resident added 67 Friday to his opening-round 65 at Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth, Texas, to join a tie for sixth place at 8-under-par 132 in the Charles Schwab Challenge.
Smalley, the third-round leader in the PGA Championship two weeks ago before taking last week off, trails leader Jordan Smith by two strokes. Brian Harman and Hideki Matsuyama are part of a four-way tie for second.
Smalley will play with Wake Forest boyhood neighbor Akshay Bhatia and Russell Henley at 12:53 p.m. EDT Saturday.
