Live Scoring I
Round Two Results
ROCKY FACE, Ga. – The Kennesaw State men’s golf team failed to advance out of a tie for 11th place after round two of the Carpet Capital Collegiate Championship held at The Farm Golf Club.
For the second day in a row, senior Ben Greene led the Owls by posting a 70, -2. Currently still tied for eighth place, Greene holds a 36-hole total of 140, -4 with eight birdies on the scorecard.
“Ben is playing really solid right,” head coach Jay Moseley said. “His ball striking has been remarkable this week and it is great to see him playing well.”
Senior Peder Lunde Hermansson and junior Jonathan Klotz are each tied for 45th in the 78-player field. Klotz was able to move up the leader board after day one, posting a 73, +1, while Hermansson dropped after shooting a 77, +5.
Freshman Nicolai von Dellingshausen rounded out the scoring for the Black and Gold as the native of Ratingen, Germany posted a 76, +4 to finish round two tied for 58th .
“Today was feast or famine,” Moseley said. “We looked great at times, but we also made some costly mistakes. This golf course demands shot making for 18-holes, but it rewards good shoots and penalizes your mistakes. Our misses were often in very bad positions that led to difficult scoring. Hopefully we will clean those mistakes up and have a better day tomorrow.”
It was Texas who put on a golf clinic on Saturday as the No. 1 ranked Longhorns’ 22-under-par score of 266 on the 7,012-yard, par 72 layout propelled the team into first place. The Longhorns finished the round with a 36-hole total of 559 (-17), three strokes ahead of first-round leader Georgia (562, -14).
Southeastern Conference rivals LSU and Alabama are in a deadlock for third place at 573, -3 along with Clemson who climbed the leader board after posting the second best round of the day of 7-under-par, 281.
The Longhorns Brandon Stone posted a 7-under-par 65 on Saturday to take a 1-stroke lead over first-round leader T.J. Mitchell of Georgia (-11). Jordan Speith of Texas is in third with an eight-under-par total, while UNF’s MJ Maguire and North Carolina’s Michael McGowan are tied for fourth at six-under-par.
aKennesaw State will tee off in the final round of the Carpet Capital Collegiate on Sunday at 9:12 a.m. E.T., and will be paired with North Carolina and Tennessee.
