The Lopes improved by five strokes from Monday's first round with multiple Lopes moving up the player leaderboard.

Playing as an individual entry, GCU sophomore Trey Moore had the biggest jump up the standings, shooting even par to move up 21 places. Moore had a team-best four birdies Friday and is 9 over.
