"Solid days work," head coach Alan Murray said. "We leaked a little oil coming in but we played some really good golf. Excellent round of 68 by Emil. Grady was really solid with even par. Finn had it going for a while and Jake played some good stuff also."

Grady Millar was 2-under through 16 holes, but back-to-back bogeys to close it out put him at even par (70). He is tied for 11th.

Finn Koelle had a good round going until a double bogey at the par-3 fifth set him back. He finished the round at 1-over (71) to be in a tie for 16th.

Jake Foley went 2-over (72) on the round to place him in a tie for 25th.
