The 12-team field features five Top-50 programs, including the tournament host Wake Forest, which is currently No. 2 nationally.
After the Wildcats' struggled in their morning round on one of the most difficult tests in golf, they bounced back with a 293 in the afternoon led by Brian Garrett's even-par 70.
