'Friday was more of a survival test than anything. I just wanted to play the course the way I have all week.'John Ellis fired an eight-under 64, tied for the low round of the day, and was alone in second place at 10-under 206. He will play in the final tee time with Guetz on Sunday.'Bret is a good friend and I think we'll have a lot of fun,' Ellis said of the leader. 'The good thing is I'll get to see all his moves and I'll try to put some heat on him. Either way, we'll be pulling for each other.'Mike Grob had a 68 and was in third place at seven-under 209. Rob Johnson (69) and Jim Lemon (69) joined low Canadian Wes Heffernan (69) in fourth place at six-under 210.Canadian Tour money leader Spencer Levin and Joseph Lanza were at 211.© 2007 The Sports Network
