Day two of the 2013 U.S. Amateur Public Links Championship tournament at the Laurel Hill Golf Club is over.

- Garrett Rank: -8
- Ian Davis: -6
- Eric Sugimoto: -5
- Sam Horsefield: -4
- Talor Gooch
- Paul McConnell
- Michael Kim

The weather has been stifling hot, with heat index temperatures well into the 100's.
That didn't stop California's Eric Sugimoto, who tied the Laurel Hill course record on opening day with 7-under 63, and also tied the 2004 record for the lowest round ever played in an APL tournament.
"This week has seen the hottest weather of the year," said Mike Trostel, curator of the USGA Museum. "Most people will be happy if the rain stays away."
