Colombia’s Nico Echavarria moved into position for his second win of the FedEx Cup Fall series, as he tied Max Greyserman for the second-round lead at the World Wide Technology Championship on Friday in Los Cabos, Mexico.

Echavarria fired a bogey-free, 9-under-par 63 at El Cardonal at Diamante, and Greyserman posted a 64 to move to 12-under 132 at the halfway point of the tournament. Carson Young fired the round of the day, an 11-under 61 with 12 birdies and a bogey, to leap into sole possession of third at 11 under.

Echavarria, 30, beat Greyserman and Justin Thomas by a stroke last month at the Zozo Championship in Japan for his second career PGA Tour title. He entered the week No. 65 in the FedEx Cup Fall standings and would leap to the front of the line, 51st place, with another win. The players ranked No. 51-60 at the end of the fall qualify for the first two signature events of 2025.

Echavarria birdied Nos. 4 and 5 before coming to the par-5 sixth and landing in a greenside bunker after two shots. He played his third shot onto the elevated green perfectly and celebrated his ball winding straight into the hole for eagle.

Birdies at Nos. 7 and 8 made it a 6-under stretch in five holes, and he added three more birdies coming home.

Greyserman is set up for 2025 after finishing the FedEx Cup playoffs in the top 50, but he is seeking his first PGA Tour win after his near-miss in Japan. After holing eight birdies and two bogeys on Friday, he punctuated his round with an eagle at the par-5 18th.

Young started his round with six birdies on the back nine and added a stretch of four straight birdies when playing the front nine. Young, also seeking his first win on tour, tied for eighth last February at the Mexico Open at Vidanta.

The projected cut line was 2 under par as play concluded Friday. Notable players on track to miss the cut included Venezuela’s Jhonattan Vegas (1 over) and Keith Mitchell (3 over).
