Freshman Ryan Gerard shot 67-69 playing as an individual entry and is tied for fourth at 4 under par.
Arkansas shot 2-over-282 in the opening round, then fired a 13-under-267 in the afternoon to take a four-shot lead over South Florida (553). Liberty (554) is third, Tennessee is fourth (558) and the Tar Heels are fifth at 560. UNC is two shots ahead of LSU, nine ahead of East Carolina and 24 clear of Duke.
