TRINITY, Texas -- Texas sophomore Dylan Frittelli fired a 4-under 68 and senior Lance Lopez added a 1-under 71 as the Longhorns remained in contention for the team and individual titles Saturday on day two of the 2010 Big 12 Championship at the par 72, 7,425-yard Whispering Pines Golf Club. The Longhorns collectively carded a 1-under 287 for the day and ended round three in second place with an 11-under 853 for the tournament. Oklahoma State leads the 72-hole event at 13-under par. Texas Tech sits in third at 9-under par, and Texas A&M holds fourth at 7-under par. Kansas State rounds out the top-five at 5-over par.
