At least Tripp will be paired up with Matthias Schmid of Louisville for round 3. Schmid is in a tie for second at -6 so they should be able to push each other.

Iowa State was +10 over par for the tournament about 30 minutes ago and dropped to 7th and have since made 5 birdies to move into a T5 with Louisville with 5-8 holes left to play.

Tripp Kinney is back into sole possession of 1st place and is 1 stroke ahead of two (2) people currently.

From the looks of the other teams who started at the Front 9, it would seem that the Front 9 is playing easier than the back 9...We started off at Hole #10 so that should work in our favor.

ouch. tough day, not going to get it done. 5 doubles, a triple and two quads - that's going to hurt.

young team, everyone back next year. hopefully kinney can at least win the individual.

Yeah worst case scenario happened today, just not great rounds overall. Hope they can improve next year!

Louisville beating WVU for that final advancement spot would help ensure Tripp of a ticket to the Championship. WVU has no golfers in play for an at large spot, but #2 on the leaderboard is from Louisville.

I know they resolve any ties for teams competing to advance, but do they play playoff holes for medalist honors or do they share it? It would suck for Tripp to have to go back out after sitting in the clubhouse for a couple of hours.

18 has played as the 6th toughest hole in the tournament giving up 14 birdies to 62 bogies and 8 double bogies. (138 pars) That's a tie for the second fewest birdies surrendered.

It has been the 4th toughest hole in round 3.
