Sophomore Jack Jerge led the charge for USC as he was three-over par and is tied for 22nd in the field. Jerge limited his damage, as he was two-over on the front nine and one-over on the back nine. The sophomore birdied one hole – hole No. 17 – and bogeyed four holes on the day.
The freshman duo of Jack Buchanan and Jaden Dumdumaya tied each other on the day, as they were both five-over par and tied for 41st.
