The team of Topher Baron of Bunker Hills and Bradley Wohlers of North Oaks shot a 7-under 64 to lead Tuesday's field in the MGA Amateur Four-Ball Championship at Crow River Golf Club in Hutchinson.

Cousins David and Michael Christensen, of Northland Country Club and Elk River GC, remain in the lead after they shot a tournament-record 59 in Monday's field.

"Mike and Dave have game at another level that a lot of people don't have," Baron said of the first-round leaders. "Hats off to them. It's fun to have guys like that in the amateur circuit that can shoot numbers like that."

The top 14 teams from Monday and the top 22 from Tuesday will play in the final round Wednesday.
