Grace is SA’s leading contender after a 69 on Friday but is nine shots behind Johnson, who moved clear of the field with a controlled performance in difficult conditions on Friday.
Jimmy Walker, who had two eagles on his card in the second round, joins Grace at 6:36pm. Almost 30 minutes before the duo get underway, Louis Oosthuizen and Patrick Cantlay begin their third rounds.

Oosthuizen followed up his opening round 74 with a 72 on Friday. The third and final South African to make the weekend is Dean Burmester, who ensured a payday in his first start in Major golf.
Burmester’s 73 was enough to see him make the cut on the number. Luis Gagne, one of three amateurs to advance to the weekend, will join Burmester at 4:02pm.
