As the big names in the field clawed their way up the leaderboard, so did promising young Australian Karl Vilips in the second round of the Myrtle Beach Classic.
The 24-year-old Vilips fired a four-under 67 to climb 11 spots into a tie for sixth, just three strokes behind leader Aaron Rai.
Vilips, who opened with a 68, made a lightning start with birdies on the first two holes.
