After opening with seven pars in his first eight holes, the sophomore caught fire on his back nine, delivering three consecutive birdies across Holes 1-3 then adding another on Hole 6 for his best single round of the season at a 2-under-par 69 that rose him 25 spots into a tie for 21st with a season-best 7-over-par 220.

The Oaks leader when all was done, junior Cole Kroeker shared 19th place after an eagle on Hole 16 soon gave way to a birdie on Hole 2 then six straight pars for the even-par 71 on the day and 6-over-par 219 in the tournament. Sophomore Emmett Shell had four birdies of his own on Tuesday, ending with a 3-over-par 74 and 9-over-par 222 combined score in a tie for 31st while graduate student Jack Stark nearly matched his strong opening round with a 2-over-par 73 and an 11-over-par 224 that earned him a share of 41st overall.
