NOTES
• Bill Rankin's career-best eight-under 64 in the second round tied the U-M record for a single-round tally. Rankin equaled the 64s posted by Christian Vozza (2003-06), who shot his in the second round of the 2005 Alister MacKenzie Invitational, and Michael Harris (1997-2000), who fired his in the second round of the 1998 Northern Intercollegiate. Rankin's previous best round score was a 66 shot in the second round of the 2008 Maxwell last season.
