Caleb Wassmer, a North Posey alumnus and former University of Evansville golfer, carded a 2-under 69 in the second round to sit at 13-under, holding a four-stroke advantage heading into the next venue. Two-time defending champion Peyton Blackard and Daymian Rij each sit at 9-under after strong performances at Fendrich and Helfrich, respectively, keeping the title race close.
