Stout would card sixth birdie of the day at the first to move to 5-under before posting bogeys at the second and fourth. He would bounce back with a birdie at the fifth, his final hole of the day.

A stroke back of his teammate and tied for third place was sophomore Ethan Fang, who carded four birdies on his way to a 3-under 68.
