    CARLSBAD, California – Off the strength of a 5-under 31 on the back nine of Omni La Costa’s North Course, Stanford University senior Karl Vilips raced out to a five-stroke lead through 36 holes of the 2024 NCAA Championship. Vilips, who began his round on the back nine, carded a 4-under 68 Saturday, taking him to 7-under par for the tournament.

    Vilips, who entered the week at No. 14 in the PGA TOUR University Ranking, currently projects to move to No. 4 should he go on to win the individual national title.

    East Tennessee State University redshirt senior Mats Ege and Baylor University redshirt senior John Keefer maintained spots in the top 10 of the individual leaderboard, standing T7 and even par after two rounds.

    Ege, who entered the week ranked No. 11, currently projects to move to No. 10. Keefer, who entered the wee ranked No. 29, currently projects to move to No. 24.

    Georgia Tech’s Christo Lamprecht, who entered the week ranked No. 2, subbed out of the team’s second round lineup due to a back injury. Lamprecht needed to win the stroke-play portion of the NCAA Championship (and have current No. 1 Michael Thorbjornsen finish outside the top 10) to finish No. 1 in the 2024 PGA TOUR University Ranking. Due to the substitution, Lamprecht is no longer eligible to win the individual national title.
