Lowery, a first-year player for the Trojans, was 7-under at one point in his round after carding seven birdies over a 10-hole stretch from the fourth to the 13th. He ran into trouble over his final three holes, recording two doubles and a triple-bogey.
Emblom finished his day with six birdies, all coming on a stretch of nine holes over the middle of the round.
Lowery is tied for 12th place at 3-under through the first two rounds, while Emblom is tied for 35th place at 2-over.

Thomas Crane, Pablo Gracia and Lee Poppell sit between Lowery and Emblom, tied for 16th, 21st and 27th place, respectively. Crane played a relatively clean round with two birdies, two bogeys and a double en route to a 74, while Poppell had three birdies in his round of 74. Gracia traded two birdies for two bogeys in an even round.
Troy enters Tuesday's final round with a combined 36 birdies, good for second in the field, as Lowery's 11 individual birdies are tied for second and his 6-under on the par 5s is tied for first.
