First-round leader Charlie Hanson struggled in the second round, following up his 9-under 61 with a 3-over 73.

Jack Schoenberger moved into sole possession of the lead with a 7-under 63 in the second round of the 66th Eastern Amateur at Elizabeth Manor Golf and Country Club in Portsmouth, Va.

The Belmont University sophomore started hot with 5-under 30 on the front nine. The back proved to be a bit more of a scramble, and he went to the par-5 No. 18 stuck at 5-under. Two perfect shots to the green and a holed 30-foot eagle putt, and he posted the day’s lowest round.

Schoenberger made six birdies, an eagle, and one bogey en route to his 63.

Charlie Hanson from Virginia Tech, Radford’s Bryce Corbett, and University of Utah golfer Brandon Robison share second place two shots back at 6-under par.

Hanson shot a 61 in the first round to race out ahead of the field, but struggled throughout his second round, shooting a 3-over 73. Hanson made nine birdies and no bogeys in the first round and made two birdies and five bogeys.

Chesapeake’s Patrick Gareiss, who plays at Radford, and incoming Wake Forest freshman Kyle Haas are tied for 5th at 4-under.

60 golfers made the cut at 5-over.
