Miles is T-26th (+1) and Wilson T-48th (+4). Sophomore Caleb Proveaux is back in the lineup and started the day with a 1-over 73. He was unable to keep his rhythm in the second round, shooting 81 this afternoon. He’s T-68th at 10-over heading into Sunday.

Dylan Meyer of Illinois has the individual lead at 8-under after shooting 67, 69 on Saturday. Twenty five players sit at par or better in the 75-man field.

QUOTING COACH Bill McDonald

“We played pretty solid today on a tricky golf course. It’s the best we’ve looked overall in a couple of weeks, and the guys are starting to believe in themselves again. We’re looking forward to posting a low one tomorrow.”
