The 2023 Wells Fargo Championship has been an exciting event so far, and as the third day of play gets underway, golf enthusiasts are keen to know who is leading the leaderboard.
The first two days of the tournament have seen some familiar names and a few surprises as well.
One golfer who has been making waves in this year's tournament is Wyndham Clark. The American golfer had an outstanding second day, shooting an impressive seven-under-par 65 to finish at the top of the leaderboard.
Clark, who is currently ranked 96th in the world, has been in good form this season, having finished in the top 25 in three of his last four starts. He will be looking to continue his impressive run in this tournament and make a push for the title.
Another player who is worth mentioning is Xander Schauffele. The American golfer, who is currently ranked world No. 6, finished in second place after two rounds of play, with a total score of -8.

He will be looking to add another title to his resume and continue his dominance in the sport.
The weather conditions have been relatively calm so far, with light winds and moderate temperatures. However, there are chances of thunderstorms and heavy rainfall during the third and fourth days of play, which could pose a significant challenge for the golfers.
