Duncan, aiming to record his first PGA Tour win
in just his second start, closed with two birdies and an eagle
to finish off a six-under-par 66 that put him alone in the lead
at 13-under.
While Duncan ended the day on top, Chesson Hadley stole some of
his thunder by flirting with a 59 before settling on an
11-under-par 61 that got him into contention.
He carded 10 birdies, a bogey and an eagle in his round at the
North Course at Silverado Resort and Spa in Napa, CA.
Hadley lost his PGA Tour card at the end of the 2016 season and
dropped back to the Web.com Tour. He captured his third career
win on that tour in July that ensured his return to the PGA
Tour.
Defending champion Brendan Steele is alone in second at 12-under
after a five-under-par 67.
Zac Blair and Tony Finau sit in fourth at nine-under. Graham
DeLaet of Canada and Brian Davis of England are another stroke
back in sixth after shooting rounds of 67 and 66, respectively.
Phil Mickelson shot a 69 in the second round and is tied for
15th at 138.
