SEA ISLAND, Ga. – Kennesaw State junior Jake Fendt continued his steady play, carding a 1-over par 73 on Saturday and remains in first place at the Jones Cup Invitational following 36 holes of play at the par-72, 7,321-yard Ocean Forest Golf Club in Sea Island, Ga.
 
Fendt had a pair of birdies and three bogeys, including two on his back nine before recording pars on his final three holes, and concluded the day with a two-round total of 1-under par 143 and a one-shot advantage over Tanapat Pichaikool (Mississippi State).
 
"The conditions were much easier today compared to Friday. I just made two mistakes on 14 and 15 with club selection," Fendt said. "Otherwise, I played very well, and as for tomorrow, I don't have any expectations other than to stay positive and try my best."
 
The Jones Cup Invitational features one of the top amateur fields of the year and is played on a course that is widely regarded as one of the toughest tests in the amateur game. Five players are tied for third at 1-over par 145, including Theo Humphrey (Vanderbilt), who carded a 4-under 68 to tie for the low round of day.
 
The Jones Cup Invitational has a rich history with a list of past winners that includes FedExCup champion Justin Thomas (2012), Patrick Reed (2010), two-time TOUR winner Kyle Stanley (2009) and PGA TOUR rookies Beau Hossler and Corey Connors.
