Lipparelli seizes lead, golfers in 1st

BALTIMORE — The Illinois men’s golf team wasn’t as dominant Saturday in the second round of the Big Ten Championships.

That being said, the Illini extended their lead to 20 strokes by firing a 1-under 279 as a team, which was 10 strokes higher than Illinois’ first-round total.

Individually, the Illini claimed the top two spots on the leaderboard. Sophomore Edoardo Lipparelli shot 4-under 66 in the second round and led at 5 under for the tournament. Junior Dylan Meyer, who set a course-record 63 Friday, shot 73 in the second round and was in second place, 1 stroke back.
