List shot an opening round of 70 and stood in a three-way tie for the tournament lead after the morning round. He was still at even par through 13 holes of his second round before carding bogeys on his final five holes of the day. Freshman Hudson Johnson scored the Commodores’ low round of the afternoon session, a 3-over par 73. Johnson finished the day in a tie for 21st place at 7-over. Also scoring for the Commodores were junior Brett Lange and sophomore Jon Curran. They stand in a tie for 45th place at 13-over.
