Â
Texas Tech is scheduled to begin its final round at 7 a.m. on Wednesday with Jansen Smith followed by Adam Blomme (7:11), Scott (7:22), Hogan (7:33) and Ramirez teeing off at 7:44. The Red Raiders will be paired with UNLV and Cal for the third round.

A Colombia native, Ramirez has made eight birdies through two rounds and finished at 1-under on Tuesday after going 3-under on the back-9 with three straight birdies on 12, 13 and 14 before making par on his final four holes of the second round. He is currently 4-under on par 5s and even-par on par 3s on the Myrtle Beach course going into the final round.
A sophomore from Cypress, Hogan is tied for 17th in his first regional appearance of his career with a 71-73 – 144 scorecard. Hogan made two birdies, 13 pars and three bogeys during his round on Tuesday. He was 1-under on the back-9 with three pars to finish off the round.
