El Paso, Texas ? Kansas University golfer Chase Hanna fired a 5-under 66 in the second round, and the Jayhawks led the Price’s Give ‘Em Five Invitational by one stroke over Marquette heading into today’s final round at Butterfield Trail Golf Club.
KU had a team total of 21-under 555, just ahead of Marquette (556) and Texas-El Paso (557) in the 15-team tournament.
Hanna shot a two-round total of 7-under 137, good for fourth place.
