Berry struggled to an opening round 83 on Monday morning before responding with the best round of his career, a bogey-free 67. Starting on the 12th hole, he made three birdies over his first eight holes and then carded two more on Nos. 9 and 10 before closing with a par to move into a tie for fourth place at 6-over 150.

First-year Aman Vantipalli (Alpharetta, Ga.) joined Eichenlaub and Berry in the top 10 by shooting 76-75 to finish the day in a tie for eighth position at 7-over. He made two birdies in his morning round and overcame a pair of early double-bogeys in the afternoon by playing his final 12 holes at even par. 

Junior Colin Fowler (Portland, Ore.) followed his first round 76 with a 6-over 78 that has him tied for 24th place at 10-over. He made four birdies and was even-par over the final 10 holes of the opening round, but gave back four shots over the first six holes of round two. 

Junior Shane Quinn (Morristown, N.J.) shot 80-78 and is tied for 53rd at 14-over entering Tuesday's final round.
