Redshirt senior Linus Lo carded a career-low, 5-under 67 in the first round of the Classic at the par-72, 6,694-yard Berkeley Hills Country Club.

Both Tom Bevington and Caleb O'Toole finished the day at 3-over 140 for their respective 36-hole totals. Bevington shot even followed by a 75 while O'Toole fired a 73 and 74 in the two rounds. The pair of Hilltoppers are currently tied for 30th with one round remaining.

Just behind Bevington and O'Toole was Chase Landrum. The junior followed up a first-round 4-over 76 with an even-par 72. His two-round total of 148 placed him tied for 36th on the individual leaderboard.
