Charlie Erlandson spent a couple of hours after his round Tuesday practicing on the green. He birdies 6 & 7 to get to 6-over

10:53

10:46

Three more pars by the final group on No. 2. A few light jabs early on while some small moves are being made behind them

10:34

Badgers golfer Drew Sacia to 3-under. It is out there although as Illinois Wesleyan golfer Tyler Short told me at the turn it’s still a challenge “but there is just not as much math” without the 30mph wind gusts

10:30

10:29

The leaders all par No. 1

2-under gets him to 5-over and in the top 10

10:24

Edgerton’s Caleb Kern off to a fast start

10:22

The last group identifies their golf balls

10:07

Our view from No. 1 tee

9:59

Defending champ Vince Sigl in the next-to-last group

9:32

Also, I'd encourage you to check out our coverage of this 125th Wisconsin State Amateur on Wisconsin.Golf where you will also find recaps of a busy day of golf in Wisconsin on Tuesday. Rick Pledl tells us about Jim Schuman's victory in the WPGA Senior Professional Championship at the Bull at Pinehurst Farms in Sheboygan Falls. And I spent a few minutes Tuesday down the road at Washington County GC in Hartford for the WPGA Players Tour Championship won by Lola Appleby and Fritz Knudtson and I checked in with McKenna Nelson, the runaway winner at the Brown Deer Women's Amateur at Brown Deer Park GC in Milwaukee

9:20

Leaders tee off at 10:10 a.m. First groups are through six holes

9:19

MUCH different conditions than any round over my two weeks back for State Am coverage. One week after the hottest day I can ever remember covering a golf tournament in 40 years of doing this it is a cool 63 degrees and light winds at 9 mph with gusts to 14

9:16

Good morning! Third-round play in the 125th Wisconsin State Am is underway!

*** Wednesday, July 22 ***

11:06

The 82 golfers who made the cut means golfers will go off Nos. 1 and 10 starting at 8 a.m. The leaders will go off No. 1 at 10:10 a.m.

7:29

Everyone at 15-over and better makes the cut … including Tony Romo

7:26

Your top five after two days of the 125th Wisconsin State Amateur

6:59

6:54

Sigl pars No. 16. Two holes to go playing in the final group with two-time champion Bob Gregorski and 2025 Wisconsin State Junior champ Kian Bystol Flores

6:43

Shaping up to be a fairly crowded top of the leaderboard. With as much movement as we've seen the first two days, it's wide open!

6:41

Defending champion Vince Sigl is bogey-free through 15 holes and 3-under for the day. He know owns a share of the lead with Brandon Cloete and Garrett Schultz.

5:46

Spencer Turtz bogeyed No. 8. He is now 1-over

5:41

Will Schlitz, who spent one year competing at St. Thomas (Minn.) before turning his full attention to academics this past school year, has birdied three of his last four holes to take a 1-shot lead at 1-under. He is 2-under for the day.

5:25

And, for the moment, the cut just moved to 14-over-par. There are 82 golfers at that numer or better.

5:24

Instead, Spencer Turtz bogeys No. 7 to fall back to even-par. He is tied for the lead with Will Schlitz, Brandon Cloete and Garrett Schultz.

There are currently 71 golfers at 13-over or better as the golfers at 14-over await their fate.

5:10

Spencer Turtz pars the par-5 sixth hole. He's still 1-under for the week with three holes to play and ahead by one. Again, it would help his cause to squirrel a birdie in there on 7 or 8 because Nos. 9 and 18 have been as unforgiving as they were Monday.

4:57

There are 72 golfers at 13-over or better. Will the 14s get in? Don’t touch that dial!

4:56

Spencer Turtz birdied 5 to get to 2-under for the day and 1-under for the week. Will we have a leader under par heading into the State Am’s proverbial weekend!

4:32

Wind has died down significantly at the moment

4:15

Former Badgers golfer Spencer Turtz has moved into a share of the lead with clubhouse leaders Brandon Cloete and Garrett Schultz at even-par. Will Schlitz just bogeyed 10 to fall to 1-over

4:13

And just when you think you've seen everything, it's raining at West Bend CC

3:49

A lot of post-round work being done on the practice green by Charlie Erlandson, Ryan Banas & Garrett Schultz.

3:18

The cutline right now sits at 10-over. There are 70 golfers on the head at 10-over or better so it will probably go to 11-over and the fans are still blowing at a 13 mph with gusts to 18, which is -- for lack of a better word -- as calm as it's been around here today.

3:15

Back here, Garrett Schultz and Brandon Cloete are your clubhouse leaders at even-par. Adam Garski and Will Schlitz are on the course at even-par with Schlitz being 1-under on his second round.

3:14

Apologies for the gap in updates. Today is the second of two days with A LOT on the Wisconsin golf schedule so I buzzed down to Washington County GC in Hartford to see the final hole of the WPGA Players Tour Championship. Lola Appleby of Mequon and Fritz Knudtson of Cambridge were your winners there. And McKenna Nelson wins the Brown Deer Women's Am with a 5-under 67 in the final round.

12:24

Three straight bogeys drop Brandon Cloete to 3-over for the day and 3-over for the week.

12:21

Jacob Beckman leaves a par putt on the lip on No. 9 to finish with the first sub-par round of the 125th Wisconsin State Amateur Championship. He shoots 1-under 70 and gets to 6-over for the week.

12:19

Garrett Schultz with a double-bogey on 10 to drop to 1-under for the week.
