For the second straight day, junior Blair Hamilton fired the Cougars' lowest score of the day. The Burlington, Ontario, Canada, native posted a score of 76 on Saturday and was tied for 50th with a two-day total of 149.

Hamilton entered the NCAA Championships after sharing medalist honors at the NCAA Lubbock Regional on May 14-16. He became only the third player in school history to win an NCAA Regional title, joining Brett Callas (2003) and Dean Larsson.

Senior All-American Roman Robledo tied for 77th at 151, while junior Vincent Martino tied for 129th at 157. Senior Kyle Pilgrim tied for 134th at 158 with freshman Michael Perras tied for 144th at 160.

First-day leader and fourth-ranked Illinois fell to second with a score of 577, while No. 33 Georgia and No. 9 LSU were tied for third at 581. No. 14 USF (585), No. 5 Vanderbilt (585), No. 12 Georgia Tech (588), No. 28 San Diego State (589) and No. 32 TCU (589) rounded out the top-9 leaders.

Following 54 holes, the top 15 teams along with the top nine individuals not on an advancing team will compete in one additional round of stroke play Monday to determine the top eight teams for match-play competition and the NCAA individual national champion.

The top eight teams after 72 holes will be placed into a match-play bracket with the winner emerging as the NCAA team national champion. Match-play teams will square off Tuesday morning with the winners advancing to the national semifinals later that afternoon.

The Championships Finals tee off early Wednesday afternoon with the NCAA team national championship on the line.

Individually, SMU's Bryson Dechambeau moved into the lead at 7-under-par 137 after shooting 67 on Saturday. Illinois' Thomas Detry stood in second at 139 with LSU's Zach Wright in third at 140.
