Greensboro, N.C.- Nicholas Dunlap of Huntsville, Alabama, Jean-Philippe Parr of St-Célestin, Quebec Canada, Eric Lee of Fullerton, California, and Andrew Goodman of Norman, Oklahoma, all finished the second round of the Wyndham Invitational Presented by Truist sitting at 3-under-par 137.
After two rounds of play, just seven members of the 72-player field sit at even-par or better. Players from 21 states and six countries include 35 previous AJGA champions, four of the top ten players in the Rolex AJGA Rankings, and 41 players committed to play college golf.
This is the 13th time that the historic Sedgefield Country Club has hosted the Wyndham Invitational presented by Truist, although it has sported different names in years prior.
I played well [last time], so I think it's going to help me the next two days and just kind of mentally prepare for that challenge.
Dunlap carded seven birdies Wednesday to go with three bogeys, good for a 4-under-par 66. He birdied three of his last five holes to help propel him to the top. Dunlap will be going into his senior year, but is already committed to the University of Alabama. He recently won the Dustin Johnson World Junior in March and sits at No. 8 in the Rolex AJGA Rankings.
Parr was on track to have the solo lead after 36 holes, but double-bogeyed No. 18 leaving him at 1-under-par on the day. Parr still played very well, carding three birdies with No. 18 being his only hole over par of the day. He is looking for his first AJGA win since 2019's AJGA Junior at Southpointe presented by DICK'S Sporting Goods.
My putting has been good, so that helps a lot. I haven't been hitting the ball that great, but putting has made up for it.
Goodman sits atop the leaderboard as well and is currently committed to his hometown school, the University of Oklahoma. He tied Dunlap's 4-under-par 66 Wednesday, which is the low round of the tournament so far, with five birdies and just one bogey.
I felt like I played pretty well [Tuesday]. Today, I just kind of dialed in my tee shots and left myself in good spots where I could score really well.
Our final co-leader, Lee is a 2023 graduate looking for his first career AJGA win. Lee currently ranks 62nd in the Rolex AJGA Rankings and looks to jump up the board with a strong finish at Sedgefield Country Club.
"Same thing as today, just try to hit as many greens as possible, keep it in the fairways and make some putts."
The third round continues tomorrow with tee times 7:30 - 11:43 a.m. off No. 1 tee.
