With the wind mostly subdued from the 30+ mph experienced by the players during Friday’s first round the field took to making birdies and no one made more of them than Mike Wolfe who fashioned 8 birdies in his second round 68. With an opening round of even par he sits at 4 under for 36 holes, good enough for a one stroke lead.

Drew Deimel made 7 birdies of his own and with only one offsetting bogey completed the round with a score of 6-under par 66. That ties the record for the lowest score in the EDGA Am at Lake Shore. It is also Deimel’s 15 sub-par round in the EDGA Am, 4 better than the second most.

Two-time champion and first round leader Tyler Cozad followed up his first round 70 with a round of even par 72 and sits just 2 back. One more back is the 2021 and 2022 runner up, Alex Weir. Weir added birdies on six, seven, eight, and nine to an opening birdie on one to turn in 31 and 4-under for the event. He bogied ten and eleven and closed with a bogey on 18 to finish with 70 and 1-under total, 3 back. Mike Garcia also shot 70 and, coupled with his opening round of 74 sits at even par, four off the lead. The 2022 EDGA Match Play champion, Matt Barto, will complete the penultimate threesome, he shot rounds of 74 and 71 for a 1-over total of 145 and is tied with Evan Rowan who shot 73-72. The top 24 cut fell at 9-over par 153 with an even 8 threesomes.
