Martin fired a 4-over 76 in round two, and then closed with a 1-under 71 to tie with four other players at 291, 12 shots back of champion Andre Chi from Methodist University. Martin was 5-under on par-5 holes, posting the fifth-best scoring average at 4.58. He registered eight birdies over the three rounds and was ninth in the field with 37 pars.
