On a cooler day with light rain, the Trojans fired a 277 (-3) to bring their total to a 570 (+10) heading into the final round.

The Trojans are five strokes back of No. 12 Illinois, which sits in third place. UCLA leads with a -10 thanks to Josh Kim leading the field with a -7.
Firing a 66 (-4) in the second round, Jaden Dumdumaya rose into second place at a 135 (-5). The sophomore had six birdies to just two bogeys on the day.

Buchanan started strong with three birdies in the first six holes before having one of his two bogeys on the par-4 No. 17.
