WAIKOLOA, Hawaii - A second consecutive round of 10-under 62 from junior standout Jackson Koivun pushed Auburn to a three-shot lead after 36 holes of competition at the Amer Ari Invitational at Mauna Lani Golf Club. 

Koivun birdied eight times and eagled once on the par-5 second hole to complete another clean round at 10 strokes below par. He leads the field by two strokes heading into Saturday's finale. 

At 20-under-par, Koivun currently holds Auburn's program record for tournament score, which is currently held by Carson Bacha, who delivered an 18-under showing at Amer Ari last season. 

Behind Koivun's blazing start are Cayden Pope (-11), Jake Albert (-10), Josiah Gilbert (-5), Logan Reilly (-5) and Billy Davis (-4).
