Dix birdied two of the first three holes to reach 7-under and after a run of pars he carded a 2-under 34 on the opening side. The strong play for the junior star continued on the second nine with a 13th hole birdie that was part of a 1-under 35 backside. In his last 36-holes Dix has carded just one bogey, which came on the 8th hole of Thursday's second round.

Current Memphis golfer Taylor McCullum began the day with a share of the lead and played well on Friday, shooting a 2-under 70. McCullum is now 7-under, in second place and one-stroke off the pace. In the third round the rising redshirt sophomore birdied five and bogeyed three. A closing bogey prevented McCullum from starting the final day even with Dix.

Taylor Riggs (Eastern Kentucky) and Michael Perras (Houston) are tied for third at 5-under. They will begin Saturday's final round three shots behind.

Mid-amateur Woodie Eubanks was part of the three-way tie for the lead after 36-holes before struggling on the third day with a 2-over 74. Eubanks is now 3-under and tied for sixth.

ROUND TWO RECAP
