Bhoom Sima-Aree joined Lafferty under par on Tuesday with a 1-under 70, and tied for 24th overall at 4-under (72-67-70—209).

Rain pushed back the start of the third round by 20 minutes this morning and affected the early portion on Monday's opening round. After the rain subsided on Monday, the Golden Eagles shot a 9-under 274 in the second round, which saw low scores from all 15 teams

Purdue won the event with a tournament-record 38-under 814, while Herman Sekne shattered the individual tournament record of 205 by eight strokes with a 16-under 197 to claim medalist honors.
