Sluiter led USC on Wednesday with a 3-under 69, his first sub-70 round as a Trojan. He was 2-over after 10 holes, but caught fire on the back 9, birdying five of the final eight holes to score a top 10 finish at 1-under 215 (72-74-69).

Hie's 215 (68-75-72) included a par performance on Wednesday. He birdied the 2nd and 3rd holes for a fast start, but evened out over the course of the round. Only a bogey on 18 stood in the way of a round in the red.

Freshman Gavin Reid finished at 4-over 220 (77-70-73), in 30th. Reid was actually eyeing his second sub-par round in a row thanks to four birdies and three bogeys through 17 holes, but a double bogey on 18 sent him over par for the day.

Junior Tom Glissmeyer tied for 31st at 5-over 221 (71-74-76). He was even through 12 holes, but a triple bogey on the 16th hole leveled the round.
