Philip McLean shot 70, one less than Kris Nicol.

Scott Crichton (74) slipped to 15th on 143, three better than Brian Soutar (76). Danny Kay (75) is on 147, two ahead of Fraser McKenna (77).
Hi5 TOUR: Former European Tour Rookie of the Year Scott Henderson leapt into a share of second after a two-under-par 70 for a 36-hole total of 143 in the Hacienda del Alamo Open.
