"Tyler played great again today," Herd head coach Matt Grobe said. "He played really well tee to green and really putted well. He sits in second and has a good chance tomorrow."
Jones finished the day with a 1-under 71. He totaled four birdies in the round bringing his tournament total to 11 which leads the tournament. The Westerville, Ohio, native birdied Nos. 12 and 17 on the back-nine and then Nos. 2 and 8 on the front-nine to stay near the top. Jones shot par or better on 15-of-18 holes.
