University of Minnesota men's golfer Bronson La'Cassie survived the cut at the Australian Open at the Royal Sydney Golf Club in Sydney, Australia. La'Cassie fired a second round 1-under 71 and is tied for 24th at 4-over 148, 10 shots behind tournament leader Nathan Green. Stuart Appleby is 1-under after two rounds, Adam Scott is even par as well as Nick O'Hern.

La'Cassie, a three-time All-American from Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, is one shot off the pace for the low amateur competition. Stephen Darnell and Andrew Dodt are tied at 3-over along with PGA Tour player Aaron Baddeley.

La'Cassie, who won the prestigious Western Amateur this past summer, begins his third round at 8:40 a.m., Sydney time tomorrow. His playing partners will be Anthony Summers and Shane Baxter, both Australian professional players.
