The second round started immediately after the conclusion of first and the Tigers bounced back with a 309 to finish with a 628 team score. Skoumal shot an even-par round of 72 to lead the team. Lazaridis posted a score of 78 and Weiss shot a 79. Paquette posted an 80 and Andersen finished with an 84.
