First-year Michael Washburne followed, tied for 21st place after shooting five over par in the first round, even par in the second and one under par in the third round for a total of 214 (75-70-69).

Third-year Connor Woodin and fourth-year Jackson Overton tied for 71st place, both shooting 14 over par. 

Woodin ended five over par in the first round, six over par in the second and ended with three over par in the third round for a score of 224 (75-76-73). Overton shot six over par in the first round, seven over par in the next and one over par in the third round for a total score of 224 (76-77-71).
