ROUND TWO RESULTS
COLLEGE GROVE, TN – On a tough scoring day, Middle Tennessee carded a second round 8-over par 296 and stand in fourth place in the 14-team field following day two of the Frankin American Mortgage Intercollegiate at The Grove (par 72, 7,348 yards). The Blue Raiders have a 36-hole total of 586.
"We didn't have our best stuff today but I'm happy with the position we are in at fourth place in a very strong field," said Head Coach Brennan Webb. "We've got an opportunity to jump a few spots tomorrow, we just need to get a couple guys rolling like I know they can. I look forward to seeing what's ahead and hopefully trying to get another win."
Ole Miss was the only team to shoot under par on Monday which allowed them to overtake round one leader Cincinnati. The Rebels fired a 2-under par 286 and own a one shot lead over the Bearcats.
Sophomore Marcus Byrd led the Blue Raiders in round two with a 2-under par 70 after registering four birdies. Byrd is tied for seventh overall.
