6:56

Good morning and welcome to Day 2 of the 124th Wisconsin State Amateur Championship from The Lido near Nekoosa. Four of the top six golfers on opening day played in the morning Monday so they will tee off in the afternoon today. That will give a lot of those golfers at even-par, 1-, 2- and a couple of 3-unders a chance to post a 36-hole score for the first-round leaders to chase.

Tony Romo before teeing it up on No. 1 at the @WSGAGolf State Amateur: “Which way does this hole go?” He didn’t have a chance to play a practice round at The Lido. I asked him if he had a caddie who knew the course. “No,” he said, “I’ve got a friend.” Good luck Tony.
