Ty Capps of Palm Coast, Fla., is in solo second place at 5-under after a second-round 1-under 69. Capps held a share of the first-round lead with Camden Goldknopf of Ponte Vedra, Fla., an 18-year-old William and Mary commit.
Goldknopf, Troy Vannucci of Marlton, N.J., and Giuseppe Puebla of West Palm Beach, Fla., are T3 at 4-under. Alejandro Ramos of Jacksonville, Fla., Justin Burroughs of Pensacola, Fla., and Justin Sui of Lake Orion, Mich., are T6 at 3-under.
Vannucci is a golfer to watch, as he finished in solo second place at this tournament last year and in 2022, so he will be looking to get the job done this time around.
He also finished T6 at the 2023 New Jersey State Amateur and made the match play portion of the 2023 U.S. Mid Amateur.
Capps, who played his college golf at the University of Nebraska, played in the 2006 U.S. Amateur Championship at Hazeltine National Golf Club in Chaska, Minn. The U.S. Amateur returns to Hazeltine in 2024.
