Viskari birdied his final two holes of the first round to card a two-under 68. After playing his first 11 of the second round at one-under par, he birdied the third, fourth, fifth and sixth for his -7 tally with three holes to play in the second round.
Freshman Esteban Cruz Bonilla also completed his best day of his young collegiate career to sit in fourth place at -5. The rookie carded a career-best 66 (-4) in the opening round – highlighted by an eagle two on the 14th hole – as he placed second after 18 holes. He then added one birdie against zero bogeys through 15 holes of the second round.
Brock Snyder is in 13th at -1, followed by Virgilio Paz and Trent Mierl in 26th at +1.
