Even though the ASU men's golf team's home tournament is still two weeks away, the Sun Devils are still taking advantage of playing in their home state.
After the second round of play at the Omni Tucson National Golf Course, the Sun Devils have a three-shot lead as they head into today's final round.
Junior Jesse Mueller paved the way for ASU as he followed up his first round, 69 (-3), by firing an even par 72 in the second round, which left him tied for 8th headed into the final round.
Right behind Mueller, fellow ASU teammates senior Chez Reavie and sophomore Alejandro Canizares finished with a two-day total of (-2) and in a tie for 12th in the tournament.
The Sun Devils must continue to strike the ball well as the USC Trojans (-7), and host UA Wildcats (-3) are on their heels.
The final round at the par 72, 7,094-yard course will resume this morning.
