The second to last group of Jacob Beckman, Griffin Pohl and Dane Zachman are about to hit the first tee

The rain is letting up here at the Lido. The final groups are heading to the first tee.

10:47

A number of golfers with early birdies. Braeden Duncan as an interesting story. He recently graduated from Aurora University near Chicago where he played golf and earned a NCAA postgraduate scholarship to continue his education and I believe he is going to do that at the University of Florida.

10:35

This is Connor Doherty of Winnetka, ill. He is the club champion here at the Lido and each year. The WSGA extends an exemption to the club champion of the host club.

9:16

We are underway with the rain-delayed third round of the 124th Wisconsin State Amateur. Erin Hills caddie Michael Conti of Phoenix and St. Norbert golfer Dawson Fish of Appleton have both parred No. 10 playing as a twosome off the back nine. We had 71 golfers made the cut of 9-over or better.

Ryan Quinn finishes the front nine double-bogey/bogey at Nos. 8 and 9 to fall to 3-under. He is in a three-way tie for second, one shot behind Waunakee's K.C. Nickel.

4:54

As we approach 5 p.m., your leaderboard looks like this:

Ryan Quinn (-5 thru 6)
K.C. Nickel (-4 thru 18)
Ryonen Faris (-3 thru 18)
Drake Wilcox (-3 thru 18)
Vince Sigl (-3 thru 18)
Charlie Erlandson (-3 thru 18)

4:26

Ryan Quinn is your new leader at the 124th Wisconsin State Amateur. The 2001 and '02 champion is 2-under through six holes and 5-under for the week. He leads K.C. Nickel and Vince Sigl by one stroke while three golfers are another

3:57

Both Griffin Pohl and Jacob Beckman both stumbled down the stretch and Waunakee's K.C. Nickel, a rising sophomore at Siena (N.Y.) College, took the clubhouse lead at 4-under. WIAA D2 state champion Vince Sigl and UW golfer Charlie Erlandson have caught him.

3:54

Sorry for the pause in posting. We were chasing down the leaders for interviews, taking photos of key groups teeing off in the afternoon wave and, oh yeah, Gary D'Amato was getting a chipping lesson from Tony Romo.

1:40

Morning wave is coming to a close and it looks like Griffin Pohl and Jacob Beckman will be 1-2 in the clubhouse as Jack Rubo & Charlie Erlandson hit the course

12:51

Among the morning wave, Griffin Pohl and Ryonen Faris our underpar for the day and underpar for the week and very much in the Hunt

12:50

Is the afternoon we get underway, Jacob Beckman of Middleton is three under on the day five under for the week it is moved into a tie for second place

11:38

Griffin Pohl has birdied 6 and 7 to get to to 5-under for the week. He is T-2

11:35

Just watched Jacob Beckman roll in a 40-footer for birdie on No. 9 to shoot 1-under 36 and get back to 3-under for the week. He is T-4

10:44

Jacob Beckman gets a shot back at the par-5 sixth hole to go to 3-under for the week. He is T-3, three shots back.

10:20

Sheboygan's Drake Wilcox is 1-under through four holes and T-6 with Jacob Beckman, the Ray Fischer champion who just bogeyed No. 5 and is even-for the day

10:18

Badgers golfer Spencer Turtz is 1-under thru 6 and he has climbed ahead of the top-70 and ties cutline at 4-over.

Badgers assistant coach Ross Thomson, who shot 76 yesterday, is 2-under through 10 today and he has moved up 37 spots to T-36.

9:55

As we reach the 10 am here is your leaderboard. Scores are a bit higher and not a ton of movement atop the board yet.

Jacob Beckman birdies No. 1 to get to 3-under for the week

9:12

The Lido/Sand Valley staff hands down has the best uniforms. Here is today’s outfit selection modeled by Jaclyn & Maddie

Your hole locations for today

8:45

Out on the course, former UW-Green Bay golfer Joe Forsting starts Birdie-birdie to get to even par for the week but he has doubled No. 3 to go back to 2-over

8:40

While he was over by the 10th tee we also had Gary demonstrate how the garbage cans work here at the Lido

8:20

From Gary D’Amato … Just off the 10th tee at The Lido @Sand_Valley a convenient spot for @WSGAGolf State Amateur caddies to wet their towels.

8:12

it is still partly cloudy with sub-70° temperatures to start the second round of the Wisconsin State Amateur

8:11

We had a question yesterday on Facebook about this 124th Wisconsin state amateur. It is just one year younger than the US Amateur and apparently the oldest of the state association amateurs

7:58

A number of the competitors are having spouses, girlfriends and significant others as caddies who wouldn’t normally loop. It allows them to walk with their golfer throughout the whole course. This is the first State Am that Gary and I can remember where spectators are confined to the perimeter of the golf course for safety reasons.

7:34

From our Gary D’Amato … And we’re off. Neil Johnson hits his tee shot on No. 1 at The Lido @Sand_Valley at 7:30 am to start the second round of the 124th @WSGAGolf State Amateur.
