SÉAMUS POWER SHOT another round of 69 at the Charles Schwab Challenge to sit seven off the current lead.
But the Irishman is at risk of missing the cut at two-under.
As the second-day action continues, the projected line is switching between two- and three-under. Should the situation remain as it stands at the time of writing, he will squeeze in.
It is fluid at the top of the leaderboard too, where American Michael Thorbjornsen and England’s Jordan Smith share the clubhouse lead, nine-under thru 15 and eight respectively.

US duo JJ Spaun and Akshay Bhatia are among those a shot further back, having signed off for the day.
Power made a solid start at Colonial Country Club on Thursday, and looked to build on it this afternoon.
The Waterford man opened with a birdie on the first, before the first of three bogeys on the fourth. He also birdied the seventh, ninth and 14th, while further shots were dropped on the 12th and 17th.
Thursday’s opening round was delayed by the weather, the action continues unscathed as of now.
Elsewhere, Sara Byrne is in a three-way share of second at the Jabra Ladies Open De France.
The Corkwoman is three shots off the lead held by Germany’s Helen Briem, alongside the leader’s compatriot Laura Fuenfstueck and Norway’s Dorthea Forbrigd on five-under.
Byrne signed for a round of 69 on Friday, having opened with a 68. She enjoyed a brilliant front nine, with birdies on the first, second, sixth and ninth holes. Bogeys followed on the 10th and 14th and 17th, while she picked up another shot on hole 15.
