Senior Gary Woodland fired a second-round 67 to end the day with 140 strokes and move into 11th place. The Topeka, Kan. native, is seeking his sixth top-10 finish of the year.
“We really struggled in the first round today,” said head coach Ross Randall. “We played better in round two and the tougher conditions in the afternoon allowed us to make up some ground. Hopefully we get going from the start tomorrow.”
Senior Tyler Docking carded a first-day score of 144 and is currently tied for 40th place. Both senior Barrett Martens and junior Joey Mundy recorded year-best rounds in round two. Martens shot a second-round 69 to climb into a tie for 50th place, while Mundy’s second-round score of 70 moved him into a tie for 61st. Sophomore Zach Pederson stands in 113th with a score of 158.
