McNEILL LOSES GROUND WITH A 76

Duncan McNeill, a second-year student from Annan at McNeese State University, shot a second-round, four-over-par 76 - seven strokes worse than his opening 69 - to drop to T20 with one round to go in the Golfweek Conference Challenge at the Spirit Hollow golf course (7,179yd) in Iowa.
McNeill is seven shots behind the leader, Daniel Sutton (Kansas), who has had a pair of 69s for six-under 138 and leads by one from Chase Hanna (Kansas) and Chandler Phillips (Texas A and M).
Tom Atkns, a freshman from Poole at McNeese State, also dropped a notch of two with an 80 for 158 and a T56 player in a field of 60 players.
Kansas (563) lead the team title race from San Jose State (569) with McNeese state (587) lying T7 in a field of 12 team. ends
