Six players are within five strokes, including Andrew Hedgspath in solo second at 24-under par, two behind Monn, who is looking to close out an Am Slam of USADGC, Junior Worlds and Am Worlds. Hedgspath turned in an 8-under round to move up four spots.

Ethan Owens had a 9-under round to climb 14 spots into solo third at 23-under. Aidan Hosler had an ace — one of EIGHT aces throughout the tournament on Thursday — and the sizzling round of 12-under to rise 43 spots and round out Friday's lead card.

Brock Tennyson, Mason McLean and John Ryan III are also tied for fourth at 22-under as action for the A Pool shifts to a shootout at Johnson Park.
