Hannu is one of three players from South Carolina in the top eight in the A Pool, including Dylan Seppala, who had the hot round on Friday at Heritage Park in Belton to jump to the lead card, and Micah Groth, who is two shots back.

Wisconsin has two players squarely in the hunt in Matt Hanne, who rounds out the lead card, and Jonathan Jurries on the chase card.
