DORADO, Puerto Rico – The Kennesaw State men's golf team moved into a four-way tie for eighth after round two of the Dorado Beach Collegiate at TPC Dorado Beach.
The Owls posted a 10-under 278 in round two for a 6-under par total of 570 through 36 holes. KSU is tied for first in scoring on par 5s and second in scoring on par 3s. No. 39 Cincinnati leads the field at 32-under par.
"Today was a big day for us," head coach
Bryant Odom said. "We continued our momentum on the par 3s and 5s by cleaning up the errors from yesterday's par 4s and tallied our best round of the year. We had the fourth-lowest round of the day and beat No. 2 Auburn and No. 12 Virginia today. Tossing out a non-counting score of 72 is a big step as everyone was contributing throughout the round. I'm excited to see this team reach their potential together and prove to themselves their ability as a group. We look forward to the final round and carrying the momentum into the next event back in Georgia."
