Holtz fired his second straight 70 (-1), while Etzel birdied three of his last five to escape round two with a 72 (+1) after posting a 68 (-3) in the opening loop at the Longbow Golf Club. South Dakota will still be in the final groupings for Tuesdayâs closing round along with NDSU and Denver. The Coyotes will enter the final round in third place (576: +8), seven strokes shy of the Bison.
St. Thomas (579; +11) moved into solo fourth after posting a 290 (+6), while Kansas City and Oral Roberts (587; +19)Â share fifth going into Tuesday.
