OPELIKA, Ala. – Southeastern Louisiana junior Paul Obermann moved into a tie for third place following a second-round even-par 72 at the Tiger Invitational Presented by Jason Dufner on Monday at the Grand National Lake Course.
   
    Obermann stands at 1-under for the tournament, three shots back of Troy's Luke Moser heading into Tuesday's final round. Moser moved into the lead with a 3-under 69, one stroke ahead of Auburn's Ben Schlottman. UNCG's Jake McGlone, Kennesaw State's Fredrik Nilehn and Auburn's Matt Gilchrest – the first-round leader – are tied with Obermann.
   
    "He's doing great and he's in a great spot," Southeastern head coach Jake Narro said. "It's going to be a great learning experience for him tomorrow, regardless of what happens. We're all as a team very excited for him."
   
    Senior Lawrence Allan had the low round of the day for Southeastern, firing a 1-under 71 to climb 36 spots into a tie for 50^th with a two-round 8-ver 152.
   
    Southeastern slipped two spots into a tie for 13^th at 32-over 305 after a 17-over 305. Host Auburn leads by two shots over Troy with a 1-over 577. Kennesaw State is third at 7-over 583.
   
    "The course is tough and the conditions were tougher today," Narro said. "Lots of win, a little bit cooler. No excuses but it certainly wasn't an easy round of golf which even highlights what Lawrence and Paul did a little more."
     
    The final round begins Tuesday at 7:45 a.m. from holes 1 and 10. Live stats, provided by Auburn and Golfstat, will be available at www.LionSports.net.
   
    Obermann, starting off at No. 10 for the second straight day, bogeyed the hole before rallying with birdies at 12, 14 and 15 to move to 2-under. He bogeyed 17 and 18 to move back to even par, then had another bogey on No. 2. He recovered to birdie the par-5 fourth before a bogey on No. 6 dropped him to 1-over. But he birdied the par-5 seventh, then had a pair of pars over the final two holes.
   
    Allan also opened with a bogey on No. 10 but came back to birdie the 13^th and 14^th. After a birdie on No. 1, he eagled the fourth to move to 3-under for the day before finishing with bogeys on No. 5 and 9.
   
    Junior James Anstiss shot an 8-over 80 and is tied for 73^rd at 13-over 157. He had birdies on the 14^th and 17. Senior Eamon Bradley is a shot back and tied for 80^th after turning in a 10-over 82 that featured birdies at No. 4, 9, 15 and 16. And junior Gustavo Leon is 93^rd at 19-over 163 following a 12-over 84.
