HOW IT HAPPENED
- All Methodist golfers began on the back half of the course, on the second day of the event.
- With his slight trip up of two-over par 74, Jonny Lewis (69-74—143, -1) moved down one spot into in a tie for third place. He birdied and then bogeyed on his first two holes before getting into trouble from holes 15-17, where he double bogeyed and bogeyed twice. After that he was able to figure out his swing and chipped in two more birdies.
- Aiden Spampinato (70-76—146, +2) scored a four-over par 76 his second time around, which caused him to fall in the player standing from third to a tie for sixth place. On the back, he made four bogeys to two birdies and the front saw him make three bogeys to one birdie.
- The last three Monarchs of Cooper Hrabak, David D'Agostino, and Cameron Cappuzzo are all in a tie for 21st place with several other golfers. Both Hrabak (74-76—150, +6) and D'Agostino (74-76—150, +6) once again finished with the same round score, this time with a four-over par 76.
- Cappuzzo (72-78—150, +6) was a little off his game on day two with a score of six-over par 78. He bogeyed six time, double bogeyed once, and birdied twice.
