Chattanooga's Luke List made the cut early Saturday morning for the final two rounds of the Chattanooga Classic at the Black Creek Golf Club in Tiftonia.
With the cut line at minus-4 in the Nationwide Tour event, List made a par on the final hole of the second round to finish with a 5-under 67. He shot 73 on the first day and made the cut at minus-4.
Darkness once again delayed play in the tournament, and List and several other golfers had to finish their second rounds early Saturday morning.
Tee times for the third round will begin at 9 a.m. List will be in the first group.
List, the former Baylor School and Vanderbilt standout, started the second round at plus 1.
He made birdies on Nos. 10, 13 and 14 while starting on the back nine and turned at 2-under. List then birdied Nos. 2 and 4, but made bogeys on Nos. 3 and 5 to fall back to 2-under. He then went to minus-4 with an eagle on No. 6.
List appears to be the only one of five Chattanooga-area golfers with a chance to make the cut at minus-4.
Gibby Gilbert, Director of Golf at Valleyball, finished at 69-73--142 at minus 2 along with Fort Payne's Scott Weatherly at 72-70. Chattanooga Golf Center's Mike "Bobcat'' Bennett finished at even par 70-74--144.
Dalton's John Powell finished at plus 6 (77-73--150).

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. -- It has been eight months since Scott Sterling walked away from Kooyonga Golf Club as the winner of the Jacob's Creek Open Championship in Australia. That victory, Sterling's first on the Nationwide Tour, was worth $113,000 and put him No. 1 on the money list at the time.
It's been even longer since Tag Ridings tasted victory.
The Oklahoma City native won his lone Nationwide Tour event in 2002 at what is now the WNB Golf Classic. Both Sterling and Ridings are poised to pick up win No. 2 as they enter the weekend at the Chattanooga Classic at Black Creek tied for the lead at 13 under.
"Yeah, that win does seem like a long time ago," Sterling said after his 5-under 67 Friday to go with his first-round 64. "I'm pleased because for the last five, six, seven weeks, I haven't done a whole lot."
Since back-to-back top-10 finishes in July at the Price Cutter Charity Championship (sixth) and the Cox Classic (tied for eighth), Sterling has missed three cuts, with a tie for 21st his best showing.
Ridings is making only his ninth Nationwide Tour start of the season, also having 17 starts on the PGA TOUR.
"This is satisfying, but there's a long way to go," Ridings said. "The weekend is where you make your money."
